Re: Seeking name of pilot who landed at Brandenburg Gate
According to After the Battle's Berlin - Then and Now, von Greim and Reitsch landed at Gatow in an FW 190 (Reitsch was crammed into the fuselage storage compartment !). From there, they flew a Fieseler Storch under fire to an improvised airstrip in central Berlin between the Victory Column and the Brandenburg Gate. While piloting, von Greim was wounded in the leg, so Reitsch had to lean over him from the back seat and take the controls. On April 30, they both flew out to Rechlin in an Arado 96.
