Unknown insturment face and II/JG 54 loss 9th Aug, 1944

Hello!

In an Estonian discussion forum was posted this photo of a German aircraft instrument face:

Is anyone able to identify it? I thought I know flying instruments but this one feels strange to me, text "kurve" and scale from 0 to 20. Just what is it?

One possible match for this loss is 9th August, 1944 from II/JG 54. Most probably with loss of life so there might be more data for this?

As for timing but likely not the location another possible match is the two losses of I/SG 5 in 7th August, 1944.

On the other hand that "kurve" possibly implying an autopilot would mean the aircraft was something bigger?


Thanking in advance,
Kari
