Re: Oberst Gunther Lutzow's fate
I looked at a map of Schrobenhausen and see that there are two big rivers, one being the Danube, with lots of lakes in the area. All crash sites have been registered postwar. Even if the Me-262 dived straight into the ground, there would be a huge impact crater and parts of aircraft scattered about, which would have been investigated by the local police.
I have heard rumors that Lutzow went down into the Danube. Since his wreckage has NOT been found on land, it seems that it went into a body of water.
He was one of the great fighter/leaders in the Luftwaffe and I hope that someday, his wreckage site can be discovered.
