436. This is Me 262 A-2a W.Nr. 500200 "black X" of 2./KG 51 at Fasberg in late May 1945 still in Luftwaffe markings. It was one of eight Me 262s of KG 51 that arrived at
Flugplatz Prag-Rusin between 11.10 and 11.42 hours on 30 April 1945 where they were assigned to
Gefechtsverband Hogeback. It was probably there that all previous markings of KG 51 and smaller
balkenkreuz were painted over and new markings were added to denote the only remaining "
2./KG 51" in May 1945 mentioned in Luftwaffe reports.
These new markings consisted of a single black letter outlined in white
forward of a large
balkenkreuz consisting of only thick white outer bars, sometimes over a square of dark obliterating paint that can be seen in this photo. In most cases, the black letter was placed so that its top was higher than that of the
balkenkreuz.
Also, the nosecaps and tail tips were repainted red overall eliminating the white bands denoting
I. Gruppe.

437. This is a poor photo of a Me 262 A, possibly "black I", that meets the criteria of an aircraft of 2./KG 51 at Prag-Rusin. I do not know where or when it was taken. The soldiers seem to be GIs.
