What exactly is a V19? I never heard of that before. I know the Jerrys
had V-1 and V-2 rockets, but c'mon a V19?

This "V19" (V = "Versuch" = experiment) has nothing to do with the V-1
and V-2 (V = "Vergeltungswaffe" = vengeance weapon).

The "Fw-190 V19" was simply the 19th prototype/test aircraft of the
Fw-190 series. It was a testbed for a new (slightly swept) wing
design. A scale model is e.g. shown at

I've never seen that version of the "Butcher Bird" before, but it gets
my vote as thee most beautiful prop-driven airplane EVER (the P-51D
used to have this honor 'till I saw this picture of the Fw-190 V19).
