Re: Oberst Gunther Lutzow's fate

Hi Guys

The P-47 pilots story makes sense, though I believe Steinhoff was informed that Lützow in his inexperience with the jet flew through the B-26 formation straight into the ground, seems they thought he misjudged both speed and ability to pull-up. Could be the P-47 pilot fired on an aircraft already going down, or as his comrades didn't believe was just pulling-out of the dive.

Steinhoff mentioned that Lützow hadn't flown combat for three years, and was rather afraid.
