Re: Rudolf Schoenert 27.4.45

Hi Michael,

your post about Ju88G-6 W.Nr. 620788 C9+AA illustrates the danger of sourcing information written on the internet : )

The photo you refer to was taken at Eggebek airfield on 29 May 1945, by a member of a British Technical Air Panel (source: TNA AIR 14/2661), so it was hardly shot down on 27 April...

Rudolf Schoenert stated in a 1970s letter that, "a few experimental aircraft of this kind - no more than five - were in existence and flying during the last two months of the war". Thus, if Schoenert flew a Ju88 with fuselage-mounted dipoles on 27 April, then it was one of the "five" but not 620788.

Does anyone know of Dr Alfred Price's interview of Rudolf Schoenert in the 1960s is mentioned in any of his books? I've had a cursory glance through several but did not find anything.

Regards

Rod
