Re: Luftwaffe Biplane Loss - 22/4/45
I donīt think, that this is such an exclusive oldtimer (even in those days, a fortnight before VE-day). This is certainly one of the numerous liaison and flying school biplanes of the Luftwaffe.
Take into consideration the timeframe - three days after the meeting at Torgau which split the Reich in two. Two fast approaching fronts and a collapsing resistance drowning in chaos inbetween.
In those days many authorized and unauthorized flights of all kind of Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe personnel were underway to the safe fronts of the western allies or to hitherto unoccupied areas. Just have a look at the inventory of the afterwar airfield scrapyards.
This "Fokker" is certainly one of them.
