Royal Australian Air Force 464 Sqdn.
from:Inverell
In May 1945, after the German capitulation, F/Lt A. J. Smith and F/Sgt E.L. Green flew a special operation from Flensburg (German Army HQ) to Berlin. Their Mosquito aircraft was acting as an escort to another Mosquito flown by Squadron Leader Syd Clayton, who was carrying a senior German officer who was to play a role in the final capitulation of Germany, as required by Marshal Zhukov. They landed at Templehof, becoming among the first of the Western Allies to do so. Who was this German Officer? (reference "RAAF over Europe", page 174.)
