Description
Throughout the war, Germany’s night-fighter units relied mainly on twin-engined aircraft such as the Bf 110, Ju 88, and He 219. In late 1943, the Luftwaffe introduced the Wilde Sau system, using ground-controlled single-engine day fighters for night interception. By 1944, experiments began equipping these fighters with airborne radar, leading to the first Fw 190s fitted with FuG 217 or FuG 218 Neptun sets. They received flame-damping exhaust shrouds and a small wing-mounted floodlight for visual identification. A 300-liter drop tank was essential for extended patrols while waiting for enemy bombers. Many of these night fighters carried the Wilde Sau emblem—a charging wild boar symbolizing the unit’s aggressive tactics.
