The aircraft was attacked by Hawker Typhoons, or Hawker Tempests. The Allies were concerned that Hitler could use it to escape to South America and so an attack followed shortly afterwards. However,according to German Sources, based in part on the testimony of nearby inhabitants and Blohm & Voss employees– claim that the BV 238 V1 was discovered by the RAF between 23 April and 26 April 1945. The Bv 238 never saw active combat and was (according to american sources) destroyed by a P-51 Mustang of the US 361st Fighter Group while being docked on Schaaslsee in September 1944. Only 1 Bv 238 was built and flew on the 11th March 1944 (2 more prototypes were incomplete and never were completed). Unlike the Bv 222 which had an impressive size,payload and armament but had no offensive weapons like bombs or torpedos,The Bv 238 delivers all that the Bv 222 left to wish for. It was the heaviest aircraft ever flown when it first flew in 1944 in aviation and was the largest aircraft produced by any of the Axis Powers in World War II. The Blohm & Voss BV 238 was a German flying boat ("Flugboot") designed in the World War II. In this thread I will show you a German float plane that you may have seen/heard of but didn't know it was this plane. I think Germany should also have it's own float plane(s) just so it's not the only nation that doesn't have them,and let's face it,they might not be the fastest,best or effective aircraft,but everyone loves flying boats because of that,they are just fun to play with no matter how slow,big,derpy they are. Germany had some pretty impressive float planes but they aren't getting much attention as much as they deserve. In the recently released German tree,float planes are not mentioned. Hello dear Forumers,Pilots,Tankers and Community! Today I'd like to propose a German aircraft,specifically a float plane. ![]()
