W.Nr. 960542, Stab/JG 4, Jüterbog-Damm, Germany, Spring 1945
W.Nr. 171180, 6./JG 300, München-Neubiberg, Germany, April–May 1945
Stab of JG 4 used Fw 190D-9 against the Allies
and this Fw 190A-8 was likely a reserve aircraft.
It was built under license by Norddeutsche
Dornier in Wismar and was painted in the
standard camouflage scheme consisting of RLM
74/75/76. The JG 4 aircraft that were integrated
into the Defense of the Reich system carried
a black-white-black fuselage band. The JG 4
unit emblem appeared on the left side of the
cowl.
Fw 190A-8, WNr. 171180, built by the parent
company, was discovered by the Allies at the end
of the war at the airfield in Neubiberg, not too far
from Munich. Damage sustained during taxiing
on April 24, 1945, was never repaired. JG300,
as a Defense of the Reich unit flying over
Germany, marked its aircraft with a blue-white-
blue 900 mm wide fuselage band in 1945. The
previous red fuselage band was discontinued
in January 1945 and kept only on aircraft
serving with JG 1. The original fuselage crosses
were overpainted and replaced with simplified
versions in black. Similarly, the fuselage code
was replaced with the yellow 4.
