In 1943 the Luftwaffe established a Jabo (fighter-bomber) unit within JG 5. Designated 14.(J)/JG 5 it was formed at Petsamo in mid-February 1943, using elements from 11./JG 5. This unit was equipped exclusively with the Fw 190A-2 and A-3 that were modified for the Jabo-role. The unit commander was Hptm. Friedrich-Wilhelm Strakeljahn, popularly known as "Straks". The task of this unit was to attack enemy ships with bombs and do as much damage as they could. In light of their small numbers they did remarkably well.

Uffz Kurt Wendler was born on September 22, 1920 in Röhrsdorf, Germany. He was shot down by a Soviet AA northeast of Petsamo, Finland on April 13, 1943 and did not survive.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a German single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The prototype was first flown on June 1, 1939 and production deliveries began in late 1941. The Fw 190 proved to be suitable for a wide variety of roles, including; air superiority fighter, strike fighter and ground attack. From 1941 to 1945, over 20,000 Fw 190s were built.
