Information I have about this plane comes directly from one of the 3 aviators on the V 555 : Ofw. Karl Nitschke. I met him in 2008 and he gave me much information about his military career. I could copy, too, his flugbuch, a wonderful flugbuch, so precise and so complete, with all his comments ! In my book about the Wekusta 2, I related as precisely as possible, his military career, from October 1937 to 8th of May 1945.
Concerning the other question you asked me (2 unusual antennas), I have no information. Nevertheless, I really appreciated what Leo (Rottler) told you about V 555.
And I take the opportunity of this thread to warmly thank you for all that you bring to us, the Toch forumers, by your daily photos and comments.
