Re: Fw. Seeling of Erprobungs Kommando Lärz

I have had some correspondence with an individual in Germany who said that the information on Fw. Seeling's demise in the Kracker Archives was false. He actually interviewed Wofgang Seeling in the 90s(/) regarding his time at Larz. Ok Found the E-mail.

"Hello Carlos,

thank you very much for your reply. I didn't know before the Kracker Archive. Very interesting website, but it also seems to be with failures - at least with regard to Wolfgang Seeling:
I have been in contact with a Wolfgang Seeling in 1997. He was with Erprobungskommando Lärz in 1944 and he flew Me 262 at that time. I think we can exclude the assumption that there were two pilots with the same name at Lärz in the same period of time. However during my contact with Mr. Seeling we never talked about any operational flight and any score he may have claimed during such flight and we also did not mention what he did and were he was towards the end of the war. We only exchanged about his time at Rechlin. I am going to try and find out if he is still alive (what seems quite impossible, as he should be around 90 or so) but I know where his son lives.
Maybe I can find out something more.
If you are interested I will let you know the results.

On the other side I will have to contact the Kracker Archive to see where he got the information about Seeling MIA in April 1945 from.

Best regards
Christoph"

Can send someone his E-mail, if so desired.
