Photos of Me 262 at Moosberg

[Karoband]

Hi David,

The reason I ask is that I noticed a document on page 146 of Brown et al., Messerschmitt Me 262 Production & Arado Ar 234 Final Operations. (2012) that reads in part:

"(Rote) 3 (1o) 11o662 …

1. Ausbidungs-Kommando II./KG(J) 54 …

Oblt. Kornagel was killed in "Red 1" as Ausbildung-Kommando II./KG(J) 54 was departing on 28th April 1945; the remaining aircraft, i.e. "Red 2" and "Red 3" flew over to Munchen-Riem the following day."

I wondered whether the "(1o)" referred to its previous V-kenn.

Also I found in deZeng and Stankey:

"SPADIUT, Dr. Herbert … 29.04.45 Hptm., II./KG(J) 54 lost Me 262 (B3+Red2) shot up by strafers vic Erding. 30.04.45 flew his last mission in the Prague-Muenchen area [sic]…

PAUKNER, ? , 29.04.45 Lt., II./KG(J) 54 lost Me 262 A-1 (B3+Red4) [sic] shot up by strafers at Erding."

Erding is about 15 km. from Moosburg.
