Re: Me 262 with Karoband?

Hi Franck,

I checked my files and as a follow-up to my previous post:

1. The POW was with the 96th BG and was shot down on a mission to Augsburg in April 1944.
2. He and his fellow POW's in Stalag VII were liberated by Patton's Army in late April 1945..
3. While waiting for transportation out of Germany they took short walks in the surrounding countryside.
4. They encountered a small airfield and single hanger with the Me 262 in front of it where they took photos of each other in the machine.

So, this was a very small airfield / air strip with a single hanger and one aircraft in front of the latter, and it was within a short walking distance fro the POW camp located just outside Moosburg.

Cheers,

David
