Schmitt, Rechenbach
Hi Peter,
Schmitt and Rechenbach were the two I was reading about in the old FLUGZEUG magazine and which are often mentioned in publications about the He 162. Copies of the flight log book of one of them was shown that showed some proof that they at least were engaged in an aircombat.
As far as I can remember the FLUGZEUG article came to the conclusion that both of these kills seemed unlikely.
It was the first time I read, however, that Adolf Dickfield and Lt Bartz were engaged in another combat with US aircraft. Perhaps the only proof for this story is Adolf Dickfield himself. Knowing of stories from other pilots which were not quite as it happened, it could then of course be that the aircombat between the HE 162 and P-47 never happened.
Regards,
Roger
