Egon Meyer's latest Victim

The Kommodore of JG 2, Oberstleutnant Egon Meyer, inspects one of his victims, a B-17. In early 1944 he was the Luftwafte's leading Heavy bomber specialist. Meyer was killed in combat with Thunderbolts near Montmedy on March 2, 1944. His total of 102 enemy aircraft shot down, all in the west, included 25 four-engined Bombers. (scanned by HOS Bandit)

Looks like the rudder was damaged? One of my collage instructors was a B-17 pilot and was shot down in 1945 by his wingmans top gunner.
