Faenor, in post #11, was kind enough to give the link to lefeckabadatelna.cz. If you scroll down near the bottom to "Me 262 Orech okr. Praha-zapad, 7.5.1945" and click on it, you will learn about the loss of Eberhard Pöhling of 6./KG 51. At the bottom of this story is posted "via JaPo" the accompanying photo of Pöhling's wrecked Me 262.

439. This is a tweaked cropping of the above photo. To my eye, it shows a flattened fuselage, mainly the port rear side. Looking closely, you can see a faded "K"
in front of a large style
balkenkreuz as well as the "feet" of the "K" on the starboard side. Note the white surround of the "K", the dark black "foot" of the starboard "K" (red arrow) and the dark, faded paint-out under the
balkenkreuz.
For what it's worth, a Me 262 A-2a "9K+KH" was one of the last aircraft used in April 1945 by KG 51. On 18 April
Fw. Karl-Albert Capitain used it operationally and landed safely, Horn,
Das Flurschaden-Geschwader, p. 299. However this aircraft was first mentioned by Horn on p.240 as being flown by
Ltn. Anton Schimmel of
1./KG 51 and may have been his personal aircraft. Under sheer speculation, Schimmel may have flown it to Prag- Rusin where it became "black K", possibly the W.Nr. 111635 transferred by Schimmel on 30 March (Horn, p.283).
