Hi David,
'sorry to be pedantic but 712186 was not with I./NJG4 when the photo was taken, even although it retained that Gruppe's tactical markings. 712186 3C+FL was struck off I./NJG4 strength on 11 January 1945 and allocated to Junkers Bernburg. On that date, I./NJG4 also struck off unit strength 710546, 712208, 712368, 714402, 714523, and 714809, while a further 17 G1 airframes were recorded as ready to transfer (to Bernburg) but still on unit strength.
Cheers
Rod
