Re: 1./ Versuchsverband des O.K.L. - May 1st 1945

Ed,
Right, too.

Good to notice that the distance between Parchim and Ütersen is roughly 150km (165 by road). Means that it was a real interception flight without sparing fuel, if not he had made home easily.

Checking his background in KRACKER we can note he was certainly not a rookie and had bigs enough to take off from that short strip. (just read USAF pilot comments on 262 take off in Sturmvogel site I think)

Cheers, Franck.
