Profile no 120. Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-14/AS
Red 8 of 2./EJG 2, Schleswig-Jagel/Germany, 4 May 1945
Ofhr. Othmar Schwendmayer, a former He 111 pilot on the Eastern Front, flew this machine against British, American, and Russian forces over the last three weeks of the war. Schwendmayer flew his last mission of the war on this day, attacking enemy columns on the Hamburg-Lübeck autobahn. The unit dropped their AB 250 Anti-personnel bombs that night from 1200 meters in altitude, to avoid most of the AA threat. Virtually all his operations were flown at night and he believed they were largely ineffective.
