This Fw 190 A-3 was flown by the son of Commander of Luftwaffekommando Ost, Generalmajor Robert Ritter von Greim. Lt. Hubert von Greim a fighter pilot just as his father joined JG 2 serving in the Stab.

He would eventually be transferred to the Bf 109 equipped 11 Staffeln. And while posted to Tunisia in 6./JG 53 he was downed by British AA fire on 30 December 1942. Unfortunately von Greim was wounded his Bf 109 G-4 trop W.Nr. 16069 "White 2" in the following crash-landing at Ain-Draham and was promptly taken prisoner.

It is interesting to note that Hubert von Greim did not manage to file any claims during his carer as a fighter pilot, while his father Robert, and ace from the first world war amassed a total of 28 victories. His first as an observer, the rest as a fighter pilot.

It was not a coincident that Hubert first ended up in JG 2 "Richthofen" as a fighter pilot, the most prestigious, the first fighter unit of the Third Reich, the unit his father also was the first commander of.

When the war was closing in in April 1945 Robert Ritter von Greim was summoned to Berlin for a meeting with Hitler. Here he was appointed as the last Generalfeldmarchall, as Göring had been dismissed in absentia for treason, ordered to take over the Luftwaffe as its commander.

His final order from Hitler was to leave Berlin to arrest another treasonous Third Reich leader, Heinrich Himmler.

Robert Ritter von Greim would finally be captured by the Americans in Austria, his first words to his captors was said to be "I am the head of the Luftwaffe, but I have no Luftwaffe".

He would however never see his son Hubert again, as the ardent Nazi he was, Generalfeldmarchall Robert Ritter von Greim instead choose to take his own life.
