called the Ou812.

Try Kg200 DL+XC fin No.124585 originally "Wulf Hound" of the 303rd Bomb
Group at Molesworth, force landed December 1942!

p.s. As for canards in WW2 try the MiG-8 testbed and Kyushu Shinden
interceptor. There's also a few US fighter prototypes with canards and
of course the British Miles M.35. German designs incorporating canards
are too numerous to list here; try Luftwaffe Secret Projects Vols. 1-3
for references.
