Re: Attack on Eger/Cheb April 1945
Tony - thanks for the prior insight from LEMB. I'm new to these forums and was able to run across fragments of prior discussions via Google searching, but didn't have the whole context.
Larry and Richard - many thanks for the detailed discussion. I'm fascinated by the whole issue of these planes at Eger, not just the markings. Particularly whether there is any evidence of the secret mission aspect my Great Uncle mentioned. I have seen a picture of an He-219 with what looked like a V-1 under its wing, so I can't totally discount that some sort of mission of that type was about to be launched on 21 April 1945. Or it could have just been a split second observation from a P-47 cockpit during a strafing pass.
