Hello meeterhunter

Can I please ask you what is the source for your information that he was flying a Fw 190 A-8? All of the information that I have seen states that he was flying Fw 190 A-5 "Black <<" (W.Nr. 0155 960) of Stab I./JG 54 at the time of his loss and that this occurred in aerial combat with eight to 10 Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft 10 kilometers east of Kreuzburg near Dünaburg. It does appear that he flew Fw 190 A-6 "Black <<" (W.Nr. 550 528) in July 1944 and I would assume that his last aircraft looked very similar to this one. I hope this helps.

Horrido!

Leo
