Re: Information about Hugo Kessler, JV44

Hi

Yes, Lützow was already dead, Galland wounded. Oskar-Heinz Bär negotiated the surrender of JV44 intact to the Americans. A cease-fire was in place so Herget to land safely so as to complete the negotiations. However the ever trigger-happy Yanks shot him down anyway. Bär then immediately ordered all remaining Me262's destroyed thoroughly, which was a great lose to the Western Allies.

I'll see if I can find anything on Kessler.

Kind Regards

Johannes
