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
