Schulungslehrgang "ELBE" - Jost Wilschrey and Oblt. Arzt

[Dr.frimarkt]

Jost Wilschgrey (rank unknown),Oberleutnant Arzt and two other pilots took off on 7.April 1945 as Schwarm from the airfield Delitzsch.They flew northerly via Dessau toward Magdeburg.
Wischrey lost contact to his Schwarm. He wasn't engaged in any air fighting and made a belly-landing near the Elbe river at Gut (farm) Belgern.

Before Wischrey joint Schulungslehrgang "ELBE""ELBE" he was a member of EJG 1 Mühldorf/Oberbayern. After re-entering school from 1947 to 1948 he met at Halbach-Schule Düsseldorf another "ELBE"-pilot who claimed to have rammed an four engine Bomber.

No answer Fritz, but you spell the name of Wilschrey in three different ways!
Wilschrey
Wilschgrey
Wischrey

What is/was his REAL name please?

Sorry, I am always in an hurry. I should be more careful, even with 83. The correct name is: Wilschrey

Thanks Fritz

I have added the names to the book The last flight of the Luftwaffe by Adrian Weir. Neither Wilschrey nor Arzt names are mentioned in the listing over pilots. However there were a few USAAF "heavies" that succumbed to ramming attacks that day and some of those pilots who did claim a ramming victory did survive....

Cheers
