Re: Who flew von Greim and Reitsch out of Berlin?

Larry and VVince are correct. The jaw was identified some years back and some Russian published a small book about it. there was even a TV special, I think the history channel, on the subject. All this AFTER the fall of the USSR and "Eastern" Europe.

Stalin loved to occassionaly trot out the myth that Hitler survived and was allowed by the Allies to go to an assortment of S American countries. He found it useful to do this as it was the start and middle of the Cold War and he, and subsequent Russian leaders hated that the West was letting the "Nazis" in West Germany rearm and run their own affairs.
