Sturmjager?

1000 pardons for resurrecting an old’ish thread … but I’m interested in any info/discussion re. the markings on this particular aircraft.

I was just viewing a clip on youtube which you can get to instantly by inserting search term “fw190 sturmjager” at youtube. It’s a very nice piece of camera work by someone called Wittmann51 … and the title describes the aircraft as a Sturmjager of Sturmstaffel 1.

Pedantically of course it’s no such thing. But I assume he means it’s painted in said markings. Grey/green mottle over 76, code white or pale grey 14 … and a very nice shield (white cloud on a blue background [suggestive of sky no doubt] with a black, perhaps gloved, hand clasping a yellow lighting bolt or similar).

Anyone got any history/knowledge of these colours and perhaps the history of the machine/unit represented?

Many thanks, Don
