Hauptmann Fritz E. Krause, NJG 11?

[atckyrre]

Jean-Yves,

Many, many thanks for a very thorough answer. One can't ask for much more!
One clarifying question: Did he keep both the G-14/AS and G-10 at his disposal at the same time? I am not sure in Luftwaffe how higher ranks were equipped and for all I know he could very well have two aircraft available to him at the same time.
My assumption would be he got the G-10 after the G-14/AS.

A little more about the nature of the NJG's flying towards the end of the war: Can one assume that the aircraft available to these fliers were all MW-50 equpped? Considering their task, intercepting high flying bombers and Mosquitos I would think it was a minimum but perhaps they flew different planes for different sorties?

My own summary for Krause's plane on May 5 1945, most of the information would be considered conjectural:

- Fact: Doppelwinkel. Urbanke claims it was blue
- Likely paintjob: Standard. Possibly all RLM76.
- Likely plane: Bf 109G-10. Possibly with gondolas under wings
- Being in the 150-series I assume early type with smaller tires and small wing bulges.

She who must be obeyed, the little one at 17 months, calls,
