The beginning paragraph: "Now a man from Abensberg (Kelheim district) has discovered Lützow's crash site in the Kelheim district - he found the colonel's silver cigarette case."

Zitat """"Den finalen Beweis gibt es leider noch nicht (z.B. EKM, WNr. der 262). Aber die bisher gefunden Fundstücke sind sehr starke Indizien, dass es sich tatsächlich um die Absturzstelle von Günther Lützow handeln könnte. Die Fundteile des Flugzeuges sind bisher sehr "kleinteilig". Das wichtigste Fundstück sind die Reste eine silbernen Zigarettenetuis in dem u.a. die Gravur "Lützow" gut zu erkennen ist. Weiterhin wurden zwei Knöpfe der Fliegerkombi sowie eine Jackenschließe gefunden. Jetzt kann man nur hoffen, dass man noch weitere "Beweisstücke" findet, um hoffentlich das Schicksal von Günther Lützow wirklich abschließend klären zu können.
Das ist mein aktueller Kenntnisstand dazu, der sich weitgehend mit dem Artikel deckt.

Maybe and hopefully a futur book arise about his last flight and additional archeological bits and information, like some years ago the last flight of Adrian Warburton and his remains were finally found, or likewise Andy Saunders did magnificently with "Bader's last flight".
WELL done to the individual who found Lützow's remains or his team.

Quick translation of post #4:

Unfortunately the final proof (e.g. pilot's i/d tags, Werk Nummer of the Me 262) is missing but the pieces found up until now are very powerful indications that this is the actual crash site of Günther Lützow. The pieces of the aircraft found so far are tiny. The most important find are the remains of a silver cigarette case on which, amongst other things, the enraving "Lützow" can be easily distinguished. Furthermore two buttons from a flying suit and a jacket fastening were found. Now one can only hope to find additional pieces of confirmation, in order to conclusively establish the fate of Günther Lützow.

That's my current state of knowledge which is covered extensively in the article. The discoveries were made by Markus Steinsdorfer with specialist support regarding the items found from Peter Schmoll.

Very interesting, I hope they actually find the remains of this genuine hero and give him a proper burial. He was a very close friend of my uncle during the BoB.
