Fritzlar Ju 88 G-1 Werknummer question
 
And another short question to complete my files: Amongst the night fighters found at Fritzlar by US forces in April 1945 was a Ju 88 G-1 with the unusual marking "+ 1". Do we know the Werknummer of this bird?

Cheers,
Christian

I forgot - here is a photo of this plane (visible just behind the 109's wing), maybe it triggers some memory.

Note: this Ju 88 doesn't have to be a G-1, of course. The photo source is footnote.com, but I cannot find the link anymore.

Cheers,
Christian

Thanks Ed for the input and the links! In the meantime a friend sent me a great starboard view of this aircraft (thanks Marko!):

The photo is from Jim Crows collection and saw print in Kagero's Ju 88 Volume III. Location is not specified, but it's definitely Fritzlar. Unfortunately the Werknummer is not completely readable from this scan, but should be in the original shot. Looks like 7146xx. ??
