Re: Rare set of Panzerschreck-equipped Fw 190 photos

Hi John,

there is a picture of a derelict Panzerschreck-equipped Fw 190 featuring the same arrow paintwork on its cowling in two JaPo publications. The publications are "Luftwaffe over Czech Territory 1945" and "Focke-Wulf Fw 190 F, G". The authors attributed this plane to 5./SG 77, I guess because of the location where the plane was found (Pardubice) and it's marking features.

However, I am not sure if those planes on Ebay belonged to 5./SG 77 too. Perhaps this "arrow" was a common feature for all Panzerschreck-190s, no matter which unit they belonged to. But this is just the mind at play.
According to Poruba, Janda and Kokoska the only known Staffeln which used Panzerschreck rockets in combat had been 8./SG 1, 6./SG 3 and 5./SG 77. Maybe someone else can shed light on this topic?

All the SG units, even SG10 nd SG151 the 13.st. nd SG9 the 3. nd 13.St , use Pz/Schreck-Pz/Blitz , by march/april 45, planes available are hundreds quite all toward East turned

Re: Rare set of Panzerschreck-equipped Fw 190 photos

Hi Rémi,
from the JaPo books I got the impression that the Panzerblitz (adapted R4M rockets) was indeed much more common than the Panzerschreck (roughly an adapted Bazooka). In fact, the authors are listing the same units you mention as being equipped with the Panzerblitz (plus some additional ones). But with the Panzerschreck it seems to be a different story...

Is anyone of the above guys in possession of the scans from Ebay? I would love to have them for my personal files (no widespread sharing intended for sure).
TIA

Milos, my word, you do have some catching up to do. While the pictures sold for over 600 euros each no-one has asked me to take them down ..yet
