Hi Fran, this plane surrendered to American troops at Stuttgart-Echterdingen. I am not sure about its unit though, maybe it came from 2./NSGr.10. The full code would be H5+BK then...

Regards,

This is supposedly a Ju87D from a Nachtschlachtgruppe in Luftflotte 4.

The picture must be from 1945, indicated by the yellow ring on the engine and the yellow rudder.

(Sorry for doubleinfo with the posting before...)

And I think you can see where the former yellow V under the port wing has been painted out (also two dark patches where the V would have curled over the leading edge).

From memory, 2./NSG 10 was the only Ju 87 Nachtschlacht unit in Luftflotte 4.

Here is a picture of that aircraft taken at some later point. Odd is the uniform color. Not much evidence of a "splinter' scheme.
