The NSGr 9 replaced his Italian-built biplane Fiat CR.42LW with the Stukas, all Ju 87D, from 2 June 1944 at beginning with 17 aircraft, 14 of them came from the Eastern Front. The main role of the NSGr 9’s “Doras” was night harassment missions against Allied troops, artilleries and vehicles deployed in front the Gothic Line. The three Staffeln of the Gruppe, 1 Staffel, 2 Staffel, 3 Staffel, had on the average five aircraft each and, after the arrival of the Stukas, from January 1945 received some FW 190 in configuration close air support. The unit’s main bases was Turin-Caselle (with a detachment at Viterbo), Foiano (Tuscany), Forlì (Romagna, Cavriago (near Reggio Emilia), Piacenza, Bovolone (near Verona) Villafranca (Verona) and Ghedi (near Brescia), all in Northern Italy.

Ghedi, from April to May 1945, was the last Italian base of the NSGr 9 which during the last days of the war moved in Austria, to Toblach/Schluderns, where was got by the Germany’s surrender. One of the last missions was carried out from Bovolone on the night of 22-23 April 1945 when the Gruppe flew near thirty sorties against Allied targets in the Bologna sector. One the aircraft, of the 2./NSG 9, crew two NCO, Artur Heiland and Werner Lotsch, took-off from Bovolone at 9.30 pm and raided, after 70 minutes of flight, target over the Via Emilia encountering the reaction of AA fire.
