[Rolfeb]

Is there a good documentation about the last mission in April 45 available?
Looking for detailled info about their losses and missions.

Thanks in advance

The KG51-book by Dierich has ca. 8 pages on that.

I would wait for the new book of Jan Horn on the Me 262 with KG 51. Not sure when he is releasing it, but hopefully not too long.

Is Jan Horn member of this forum to contact him?

On April 29 1945 changed I./KG 51 München-Riem A/F for Hörsching A/F. On April 30 1945 were transferred 8 Me 262 of I./KG 51 and 9 Me 262 of JV 44 from Hörsching A/F to Praha-Ruzyně A/F (Prague-Rusin).

Timeframe April 21 - 26 1945 was not of my interest.
