On April 20, 1945 the IV. (Sturm) / JG3 flew in the area east of Berlin. Who can say what happened that day?
Thanks, Rene

Re: 20.4.1945

Hello and thank you, Leo.
The chronicle of Prien is known to me. Prien writes of an unknown 4th airman from the Maximowitz swarm. We located between Strausberg and Berlin 3 crashes of Fw190. These are about 1 -2 km apart. One of this crash site is that of a member of the IV. (Sturm) / JG3. He is still MIA. Residents reported that the crash occurred after April 19 1945.On that date the people left their village in front of the Russians.
Greetings, Rene
