Re: Ar 234 shot down, 25 April 1945
Good morning Nick,
I just want to rule out Oblt. Karl Helmut Reinert as the pilot on 25 April. According to his flugbuch he attempted to take off in Ar 234 140594 from the autobahn next to Burg at 10:30 hrs on 13 April 1945. The notation says, "Beim Start 90%iger Bruch infolge Reitendefektes. Start erfolgte auf der Reichsautobahn." According to Russian authors, while he survived he was unable to walk and was taken to the hospital in Burg. It is the last entry in his flugbuch.
