Re: FW 190 "Butcher Bird"
Correct Graham --- the German term "würgen" have two meanings: 1. strangle and 2. retch. In all probability he got his name because of his way of life --- 1. " ... he strangle the young brood of birds." (from Brother Grimms dictionary/ Brockhaus 1911) and 2. he retch out the indigestible parts of his victims (hairs, bones, chinin parts and other).
