287. The highly camouflaged waldwerk known as "Kuno I" was located in the dense coniferous forest along the A8 autobahn near Scheppach between Ulm and Augsburg. Me 262 A-1a/Jabo W.Nr. 111755 was one of two fully camouflaged aircraft found by American troops in April 1945 among many unpainted Me 262s in the process of assembly. In this picture W.Nr. 111755 is seen in its original location and is easily recognized by the camo pattern on the outer port nacelle.

288. The Americans were very lucky not to have caused a nose wheel collapse when towing W.Nr. 111755 out onto the roadway using only the nose wheel attachment bar. Note the extensive use of camouflage netting.

289. While W.Nr. 111755 displays the characteristic camo pattern of JV 44, the addition of the wikingerschiff bomb rack suggests it was destined for KG 51. The waldwerk buildings are well hidden in this photograph.

290. Another view is more revealing of the buildings.

291. It seems every passing GI scratched his name on the fuselage of this aircraft.
