Re: Fw190D-9 at Kitzingen, May 1945

Sources have identified the following aircraft flying into Kitzingen as part of Rudel's flight:

Ju 87G-2 black <- + - 494110 Stab/SG 2 Colonel Hans-Ulrich Rudel; Captain Ernst-August Niermann
Ju 87D-5 + TU ? 10.(Pz.)/SG 2 master sergeant, sergeant, female civilian
Ju 87D-5 + VU ? 10.(Pz.)/SG 2 First Lieutenant Hans Schwirblat
FW 190A-8 black << + - 171189 Stab II./SG 2 Major Karl Kennel
FW 190A-6 white 2 + - 550503 4./SG 2 4 Staffel II./SG 2 white (2+-)
FW 190F-8 white 9 + - 585584 4./SG 2 (Fairly certain this was Oblt Karl Biermann's airplane)
FW 190F-8 white 12 + - 583234 4./SG 2 ?

There was another Fw190A-8 there as well. Although I do not know the side number, there is definitely a white II Gruppe bar on the rear fuselage, yellow rudder, and at least a partial Luftflotte 4 yellow nose band. Stuka T6+TU is visible at the extreme right of the photo. Looking at the Gruppe bar, I doubt that this is Kurt Lau's Black 5+-, and with the MG131 cowling and blown canopy, it is definitely not Fw190A-6 "White 2+-".
