Wreck of Thw FW 190 fighter at the Kemi airfield in October 1944

I found this picture from Finnish Army archives. It has been taken on 20th of October 1944 in Kemi airfield rouughly a week after the Finnish troops had liberated the town from German occupation To my understanding it shows the wreck of the FW 190 fighter. Could anybody help to identify to which Luftwaffe unit this plane has belonged to and even who has flown it?

I do not want to get too political about it, although I thought that the Germans and Finns were allies, something like Waffenbrüder, between June 1941 and September 1944? To my mind though, the occupation, seems a strong word to describe the German presence in Finland.

Kemi airfield wrecks left behind when Germans fled the place are same camouflage what I./SG 5 used in Immola when they were part of the Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey.
That particular Fw-190F-8 fuselage and wings in wooden frame might be sent from Immola by train and not yet repaired until Germans fled from Kemi.

Who's plane that was, I don't know. We must try to research. Plane number might be black 4 and white outlines.
