Hi Andreas,
Oblt. Otto Burkhard was one of the pilots from KG30 attached to the 6./KG200. He was shot down while a formation of three Mistels was jumped by P-51s from the 55th FG, which were looking for targets of oppertunety on their return flight from an escort mission over Berlin.
I guess that Burkhard together with Obgefr. Joachim Uhlig and Obfw. Arnold Klähn (both form KG30, also attached to 6./KG200), flew possible protection for the Mistels or they were on a training flight but in the area of engagement.
Oblt. Burkhard flew a Fw190 A-8 WNr.737 989.
The whole story is nicely recalled in Robert Forsyth's "Mistel - German composite aircraft and operations 1942 - 1945".
best regards,
Tomislav
