Hauptmann Manfred Götze and Oberleutnant Norbert Schmitt of SG 10

John. The 52FG (P-51s) shot down 4 190s "east of Papa" on the 26th; they had been escorting Fifteenth AF B-24s to Bruck rail yards Austria. There were 8 190s painted " dark green, some with a dull yellow tail, painted like ours, with yellow stripes on the wings and a yellow spinner". They sound like ground-attack 190s (SG 10 ?). The 52nd pilots reported 4 of them were strafing the rail lines presumably in Russian hands.
