Re: Do 335 flight by Schnaufer on 1st March 1945

Hello all,

in his book "Meine Geschichte und die meiner Familie", published in 2002, Rumpelhardt mentions this flight. He clearly states that the english authors must have misinterpreted him.
"Soon after this flight another pilot flew the plane to I./NJG 3 in the hamburg area where he allegedly bellylanded it."
He gives no clear date - only speaks of a Sunday morning.
Also he says that they (Schnaufer and Rumpelhardt) only intended to fly the Do 335 together but this never happend.

Have a nice evening
