Do 335 flight by Schnaufer on 1st March 1945 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hello Adriano,

Hptm Krause's logbook states that on the 1st March 1945 he was in Vechta were he arrived on the 28th February. Only on the evening (1843 hours) of the 1st March he came back to Gütersloh. No doubt that David P. Williams can confirm this.
It is well possible that Krause remembered the flight of Schnaufer in the Do 335 of the 25th February. Krause took off that morning in Gütersloh at 0745 hours, for testing Ju 88 3C+BC, but by that time Schnaufer was already back on the ground as he landed the Do 335 at 0742 hours that same morning.
Fritz Rumpelhardt never stated that Schnaufer crashed a Do 335, perhaps this was lost somewhere in the translation.
All the best,

Wim
