                  War War II ends in Schleissheim

                      The “Battle of Lohhof” is over and the U.S. Army
                    proceeds through Unterschleissheim towards the northern part of a forest, called Berglwald. There a
                    German unit is presumed to defend the village of Oberschleissheim and the airfield. The
                    Nachtjagdgeschwader 6 was in charge of the defence.
                     
                    
					The part of the air reconnaissance is played in 2007 by a Wilga (PZL 104 Wilga 35) from the
					airfield Schleissheim close by.

                     The Wilga flew the air reconnaissance for the oncoming U.S. Army.
                    The  circling in the air - just as 62 years ago done by a Piper L-4 - was the sign for the GIs
                    to  proceed from Unterschleissheim towards the wood.

                     Low and slow above the presumed  position of the German Wehrmacht the
                    Wilga continues its reconnaissance. 
                       
                     After the situation is  clear, the 45th Inf. Div. proceeds towards the wood in their  vehicles
                     and on foot.

                     The advance party  secures the area in the Berglwald and the unit slowly
                    follows.

                     The unit has reached the  Berglwald. In the distance, close to the edge of
                    the wood you can see Mr. Spoden, and the ones of the
                    Bavarian  Aviation Historians (B.F.H.) and the Heimatmuseum (museum for local history) Unterschleissheim.

                     Near the wood Mr. Spoden  beckons his peaceful surrender with a white flag.
                    Master Sergeant Blaschke  advances with his sergeant. As a token of confidence he will remove his
                    helmet.
