Re: FW units over Vienna on August 28 1944
At least two Focke-Wulf 190 equipped units flew combat missions in the Vienna area on 28 August 1944: IV.(Sturm)/JG 3 and II.(Sturm)/JG 300 which both took off from Jüterbog at 9:48 with 16 and 10 Focke-Wulfs respectively. In addition, at least one Fw 190 of Stab/JG 300 took off at about the same time from Jüterbog and saw combat shortly before 11:55 near the airfield of Wien-Aspern.
