Re: Me 109G-14 and FW 190S in Köthen, Germany 1945

I think this early war Fw 190 (A-2/3) is the very same as seen in Luftwaffe im Focus No. 8 page 47, lower photo. That image is of much higher quality but being a close-up it only shows the latter part of the code (+BG) and a numeral "3" which may have been green, red or blue! The numeral is obscured in this full-view image.

The camouflage and overpainted original Stammkennzeichen (see the uniformly coloured patches behind and in front of the Balkenkreuz) are the same on both photos. Even the mottling matches!

Regards,

Kjetil
