Re: Fw 190 A-8 W.Nr. 173078 --> Anything known?

Could it be that 'RG' was wrongly translated by the ULTRA personnel and was in fact 'Erg.G' for Ergänzungs-Gruppe? In German, spelling out 'R' sounds virtually the same as 'Er' and the 'Rest and Refitting Gruppe' is also mentioned in the text.

Since I./JG 2 was at Husum for refreshing after the heavy losses after D-Day, it could well be that the whole Gruppe was called 'Ergänzungsgruppe' during the time at Husum.
