Fw 190 F W.Nr.583 958 Pardubitz (Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren)
 

Hello,
In the spring of 1945 (allegedly in March), two Fw 190 aircraft collided over the town of Pardubice / Pardubitz-Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren.Both pilots died.
The wreckage of one of the Fw 190 F aircraft, probably W.Nr.583 958, was found in 1987.
Please anyone have more information?
Thank you very much.
Regards Tony
