Gentlemen,
I read that you want to know about the fate of my father in Prag Rutin. As you can easily see, my father has survived in Prague. On 28th April, the non-flying staff went by train to Fürstenfeldbruck, the four still flight-able ME 262 should start on 29 April. The three others already started when my father noticed that a turbine had caught fire. He brought the machine to the stand before taking off, he jumped out, the fire department immediately extinguished the fire. The commander of the airfield gave him a place in the last Lufthansa machine, which left Prague. On the same day he was in Salzburg and tried to find the KG 54 in Holzkirchen. On April 30, he took over the leadership of a squadron of hitherto to him unknown soldiers in Miesbach. Together, they tried to get to the Schliersee.
If you are interested, I will be pleased to provide you with further information, my father, who died in 1977, bequeathed to me his personal account of his experiences in war.
Best Regards
Claudia Kornagel
