Re: Meissler's (7./JG52) story and interrogation report
Bernd Barbas tried to contact him after the war in the DDR in the 1970's, but had no luck. But then Meissler himself telephoned Bernd and asked why he wanted to find him. After Bernd explained his interest with JG52 Meissler explained that he had a technical problem with his Bf109 and did not even see an enemy aircraft before his belly-landing, same thing happened to Friedrich Obleser the same day, but he managed to evade capture. Meissler was released in 1949.

Regards

Johannes
