Dear Sirs,
I am member of an group of amateur historians in Oranienburg, north of Berlin, and I am looking for veterans of the 401st who flew the mission on April 10th 1945 to my hometown. The 401st was the last unit over the target, the SS-ordnance depot. I would be very gratefull if any veterans, who was part of this mission could give me an statement of their memories.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely Mario Schulze

I have been researching one particular crew that flew this mission. I have serial number of plane, mission breifing times, and crewmember names. E-mail me and I will send a file to you with information regarding this crew.

Sir, One of the planes on that mission was Heavy Date #43-38788 from the 612th. She was shot down that day by flak and crash landed at the airbase in Fassberg. I have some info on the crew and a couple photos of the plane. It was an interesting story what happened to the crew after the landing.
If I can be of help email me. Hans

Is Oranienburg near Fassburg? My dad's plane, Heavy Date, with a later crew crashed landed on a German runway there after an April '45 mission and I was curious if any parts of it might be in a museum.
