Fw 190 0581 crash at Venlo, 8 January 1944
Hello,
First, best wishes for this new year to all ! I would like to know the precise type of the Fw 190 WNr 0581 of Luftbeobachterstaffel 3 that crashed at Venlo on 8 January 1944. The reason of crash and fate of the pilot is given in the thread http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=14858, but I have been unable to find the type of this fighters. Apparently a Ju 88 took off at the same time as the Fw 190. I wonder if at this stage of the war the Luftbeobachterstaffeln had received fighters to provide some king of escort fighter to their bombers? Or were fighters used also for Luftbeobachtung purposes, ie following the Allied formations and reporting their progress ? Thanks in advance
