Re: Bär's Me 262 at Innsbruck-Hotting?
Quote:
23 April: Luftflotte 6 reports separate strength figures for "J.G. Baer" and "J.G. 44". 24 April: During the afternoon, Ofw. Nitschke of 1.(F)/100 flies an operation from Lechfeld (III./EJG 2's base) but lands at Riem. Also that afternoon, workshop staff are ordered to leave Lechfeld for Erding after Me 262s and jet engines are evacuated. That evening Luftflotte 6 reports a combined strength for "J.G. Baer" and "J.G. 44", including 35 pupils. 25 April: Luftflotte 6 gives an evening strength figure for "J.G. 44" only. 26 April: Luftflotte 6 asks Luftwaffenkommando West for an immediate report on who authorised III./EJG 2's disbandment. US 12th Armored Division seizes bridge over the River Wertach at Hiltenfingen during the evening (just over 10 km from Lechfeld). 27 April: At 0430 (GMT+2) US units ordered to reconnoitre crossing points over the River Lech, arriving about 0830. Since Lechfeld airfield was west of the river, presumably it was captured that morning. |
