Kommando Bisping?
Good morning,
Jan Horn in Die Augen des OKW..., (2021), has a chapter entitled "4.5 Das Nachtjagd-Erprobungskommando Ar 234, pp.282-290. In it Horn states that on 12 December 1944, Ltn. Oskar Schreckenberger of 3./NJGr. 10 was named kommandofuhrer of the Nachtjagd-Erprobungskommando Ar 234 and that it was Schreckenberger who did the testing of the Ar 234 B-2/N. It was only when SM+FE; WNr. 140 145 was declared operational "around 12 February 1945" that Hptm. Josef Bisping, staffelkapitan of 3./Versuchsverband OKL, used his "friendship" with Schreckenberger to fly a night mission on 13/14 February resulting in a fatal crash. Schreckenberger was then replaced by Hptm. Kurt Bonow of Stab/NJGr. 10. Is there any documentary evidence that there ever was a "Kommando Bisping" or that Josef Bisping was in charge of the development of the Ar 234 Night Fighter? best regards, Jim |
