Re: SG 4 March 25 1945
Hello Michal,
Yes, the Focke-Wulfs were from I./SG 4 that has lost at least 6 Fw 190s on this date, 5 of them in the Prostějov area, 1 near Olomoc (all crashed confirmed by reports of local gendarmerie). Six SG 4 pilots were KIA. These were for certain: Ofw. Kurt Schlosser (Fw 190F-9 426054 white 6), Ofw. Heinrich Palluck (Fw 190F-8 5800600 white 1) and Uffz. Ernst Faustmann (Fw 190F-8 931879 white 10). The others were possibly Gefr. Ludwig Kulzer, Lt. Walter Schneider and Uffz. Ernst Metlinsky.
I should add that Capt William J. Dillard did not "score" in combat with these Fw 190, but has claimed a Bf 110 which unfortunately turned out to be a Soviet recce Petlyakov Pe-2 that crashed in the vicinity of Německý Brod (Deutsch Brod). None of the VVS crew survived this friendly-fire accident.
Hope this helps,
Ota
