Re: Me109 Crash near Heidelberg
Good evening,
i think, the pilot in question is: Ofw. Walter Busse, III./JG 53 . The date i have in mind is the 23. Feb. 1945 . Busse was shot down twice that date. However - the place(s) are not given in detail - neither in the Gen.Qu. returns, nor in the Prien JG.53-chronicle (pt.3). Busse wasn't hurt - so no personnel loss record ("Namentliche Verlustmeldung", NVM) was issued. The main battle area that day was roughly (Pforzheim - Karlsruhe - Bretten - Bruchsal - Walldorf). It was definitely before 30/31. March 45 ... since the combined US/French force crossed the river Rhine on the 30th (the US at Germersheim, the French at Leimersheim/Leopoldshafen). The III./JG 53 had moved before that date to their new base at Neuhausen-ob-Eck (M.Holm's site is slightly wrong regarding the date of this dislocation). Kind regards, Uwe K. - Leopoldshafen/Karlsruhe/D |

Re: Me109 Crash near Heidelberg
No info I am afraid but, if the crash was excavated in 1990, surely there was some info about the identity from that?
Cheers |

Re: Me109 Crash near Heidelberg
Hello Uwe,
thank you for the information, i will look in the Prien Book for more detailed information. Hello schwarze man, the plane was a Me109 but it was not identified with the unit characteristic. Thanks both regards Klaus |
