On December 16, 1958 at around 12 p.m. the Turbulent D-1 D-EJEB took off from Hartenholm airfield between Bad Segeberg and Barmstedt with destination Minden in Westphalia. The pilot was a certain Herr Striwisch, and the owner was a businessman from Bielefeld. About half an hour later, the machine flew over the East German border between Gudow and Lauenburg near the village of Sophiental in an easterly direction. The machine then made an emergency landing in the DDR near the Mecklenburg town of Pritzwalk.
The pilot was unharmed and the aircraft undamaged. The pilot and plane were released to the West German authorities the following weekend. The pilot stated that he had been navigating because of a compass failure. There was no radio on the plane. On August 19, 1959, the aircraft was then deleted from the aircraft register.
I would be interested to know if there was something like the BfU in the DDR that recorded the incident. And if so, where are the files located today, if they still exist at all. Are there any photos of the aircraft that has landed and/or its return transport. This machine was never re-registered afterwards, which is unusual when there was little or no damage
