Helmut Lennartz was the pilot of ME262 number 37064 when he encountered US fighter ace Major R. Foy in his P-51 mustang. The jet was flying with another ME262 the two had been aloft long enough to be extremely low on fuel and had hoped to land at Achmer or Hesepe. However, a swarm of U.S. fighters in these areas precluded them and the two made for Bremen, using only enough power to keep ahead of Foy. As Lennartz was on final to Bremen, both engines quit due to fuel starvation, and he made a rough landing, damaging the landing gear and crashing of the side of the runway wrecked and completely un air worthy.
