Rare set of Panzerschreck-equipped Fw 190 photos

[John Manrho]

I did a check in Lfl. 6 documents all the way up to late March 1945. Early February 1945 the following units flew with Panzerschreck;

8./SG 1, 6./SG 2, 4./SG 3, 5./SG 77 (Pz.Schreck)

(indeed there is also one report that says 6./SG 3 had Pz.Schreck but it does not list 4./SG 3 also, maybe a typo?)

The following units had Panzerblitz;

III./SG 4 (all three Staffeln), 13.(Pz)/SG 151, 1.(Pz)/SG 9 (Pz.Blitz)

It seems that II./SG 151 had mainly Pz.Blitz but also a few Pz.Schreck Fw 190.

Early Feb 1945 also 3.(Pz)/SG 9 was transferring to Pz.Blitz (completed mid March). This was followed in early March 1945 with transferring first 3./SG 1, 9./SG 77 & 6./SG 1 to Pz. Blitz. planned to be followed by 3./SG 77, 3./SG 4, 3./SG 3 & 6./SG 4. Need to check more files if that was completed too.

As the pictures show clearly the II. Gruppe bar and the "11" and "2" are black (imho) than I think we can say these are indeed 5./SG 77 a/c. Staffel color of 6./SG 2 = yellow and 4./SG 3 = probably white. The color of 5./SG 77 was in my opinion black.

Could these have been taken at Gahro?
