69 years ago, exactly, Franz Schall died on the 10th of April 1945, in his Me-262 after having fought the entire war, when there was just one month to go. Franz Schall was born on 1 June 1918 at Graz in Steiermark, Austria. Hauptmann Schall led 10./JG 7, based at Oranienburg. On 10 April 1945, Schall shot down a P-51, for his 133rd and last victory but then attempted an emergency landing at Parchim.

Le 10 April 1945, Schall abattit un P-51, pour sa 133ème et dernière victoire, et tenta d’effectuer un atterrissage d’urgence à Parchim. Son appareil au roulage s’effondra dans un trou de bombe fraîchement creusé dans la piste et explosa, tuant le pilote sur le coup.
