WNr. 171189, Maj. Karl Kennel, CO of II./SG 2, Kitzingen, Germany, May 1945

In the beginning of April 1945 the II./SG 2 commanded by Gruppenkommandeur Major Karl Kennel was

located, together with Ju 87G from 10.(Pz)/SG 2 and

10.(Pz)/SG 77 at Mimoň-Kummer airport. Until the end

of war the airport was constantly raided by Americans and Soviets. On April 21, 1945 the SG 2 command

was assumed by Geschwaderkommodore Oberst

Hans-Ulrich Rudel, who sortied with the whole SG

2 for missions against the Red Army and 2nd Polish

Army tanks and vehicles in the vicinity of Lobendava and Bautzen. On May 8, 1945 the Soviet Pe-2s and

P-39s attacked the retreating German columns fle-

eing Mimoň to reach the Americans. The raid was unsuccessfull and the Mimoň center suffered damages

from it. Major Karl Kennel escaped to Kitzingen in his

Fw 190A-8 WNr. 171189. The aircraft was damaged

upon landing. It carried the standard camouflage in

RLM 74/75/76 with additional mottling in RLM 81/82.
