Oblt Benno Weiss .2/KG(J)54 killed on a Me 262 A-2a
Hello to all.
I am seeking the CORRECT date and CIRCUNSTANCES of the death of Oblt Benno Weiss from .2/KG(J)54, killed aboard Me 262 A-2a, serial 110504, B3+FK near Baden/Fahrenbach.
On the book "Me 262 Combat Diary" by Foreman and Harvey it is stated on page 105 that this pilot ( listed as a Leutnant ) was killed after chasing the PRU Spitfire of G/C Ogilvie, DSO, DFC - OC 34 PR Wing.
However, on the page 329 ( Appendix II ) - we do have his loss ( as an Oberleutnant ) on the 10th December 1944. A crash near Fahrenbach during a high altitude interception flight.
From what I have researched, G/C Ogilvie was sent on a North Sea recon. How is Fahrenbach distant from there? Is there any evidence of a combat? If yes, why Benno did not recorded his victory on R/T? ( It could have been heard by someone on the ground; ground controllers, isnīt it? ).
Any help will be very welcomed
Adriano
