Ju 87 G, Fw 190 F-8, SG 2; Ju 290 "PJ+PS"
 
Another eBay find:

The latter was flown to Munich, 6 May 1945. Are the other pictures from the same location ?

Cheers

Could be München-Riem.
I think the Fw 190 with the Gruppenkommandeurs chevron was surrendered there along with many SG 2s Fw 190s.
The Ju 87 G features the same tail stripes like Rudel´s Gefechtsverband surrendered at Kitzingen a/f.
Btw, PJ+PS is in an early status of overpainting. Points to Riem, too.

Many thanks, Roland !

I thought at first that this Ju 87 G was Rudel's...except Rudel ground-looped his at Kitzingen... I was aware of all the sG 2 machines surrendered in Munich, but not so for the Kannonevogel...

Thanks again for your precisions, much appreciated!

Yes, Rudel ordered his entourage to crashland its Ju 87s and Fw 190s not to let them fall undamaged in the enemy´s hands. The Ju 87 G plot in Riem ostensibly chose a safe landing.
For comparison some Simon Schatz profiles:
