Re: BV138 25.March 45

On 25.03.1945 the BV 138C-1 W.Nr. 0310050 St.Kz. BD+EL of Erg.Fl.St. (See) landed on lake Femlingen nar Växjö after having lost their bearings during a training flight near Bornholm in the Baltics. The crew were Ofw. Karl Gustav Klein (pilot), Ofw. Josef Burger (observer), Ofw. Alfred Roass (radio-operator), Ofw. Bruno Lojewski (flight mechanic) and Fw. Heinrich Dessel (gunner). All were interned in Sweden. The aircraft was equipped with FuG 200 "Hohentwiel" radar. It was later flown to the F.2 Wing at Hägernäs near Stockholm were it remained until scrapped in 1948. The aircraft also carried a large numeral "5" on the rudder.
