Oberleutnant Korn of FAGr 5: Arado Ar 234 question
In Robert Forsyth’s excellent book “Shadow over the Atlantic” about Fernaufklärungsgruppe 5 it is stated that after 6 September 1944 Oberleutnant Günther/ Günter Korn was transferred from KG200 to the Arado firm to test-fly the Arado Ar 234.
Before flying several mission for KG 200 with the Ju 290 Korn was a member of 1./FAGr. 5. Forsyth states that very late in the war 1./FAGr 5 operated a small number of Arado Ar 234.
I have a document written by Korn in which he states that he was in Denmark at the time of the capitulation and that he was the only one who was still “eisatzbereit” with the Ar 234 and that the others in his unit were transferred to anti-tank units. In the same document Korn notes that he had about 50 hours on the Ar 234.
Is it known whether Korn ever flew a operational sorties on the Ar 234?
