The Do335A-1 240133 is said to have been crashed and damaged by Schnauffer during a test : any idea of the date of this event ? And the unit (EKdo335 ?) ,
Thank you in advance !

Thank you !
So it is probable that Schnauffer never flown this plane !
Did it belong to EKdo335 ?

Erprobungskommando Do 335 was established under the Kommando der E-Stellen on 4 September 1944 to evaluate the Dornier Do 335 as a nightfighter, armed recce and bomber:

It was disbanded on 12 February 1945. (RL 2-III/67 p. 0017)

As far as I know, it was never used in combat. This photo is a hoax:

In the meantime I was able to find some logbook entries of W.Nr. 240113. Each with entries by two people. So it should now be clear that W.Nr. 240113 was a Do 335 A-10 two-seater.
