Welcome M Bykov.
I greatly appreciated your recent clarifications on Galchenko's plane, as well as your profiles.
About n.49, the only thing that I have in my hands is that image, and, in my opinion, it looks to show a 49. I have considered the possibility that it was the hat of some soldier to resemble a number, but I don't see nor the shoulders of him, nor the space between other soldiers for him.
I would be very interested to see a scan- maybe a detail- of the original image, if possible. Of course, I trust your word, but the (supposed) number is confused between the heads of the men, and I would be convinced before rejecting what I see on the only scan I have.
Hi Audrius,
a monster? Perhaps. Sometimes with full moon...
