Yes, on August 27, 1943 a Junkers JU-390 took off from Bergen, Norway and flew out across the Atlantic Ocean. This was a four man Recon-Bomber specially built to fly over America and take important pictures. Anna Kreisling was the Co-pilot and her flying skill was important to the mission. The JU-390 had a 18,000 kilometer range, but the real Top Secret of this mission was the fact that two Junkers JU-290 Tanker aircraft would gas up the JU-390 in air to air refueling.
The first air to air refueling took place north of Iceland, if this was successful then the Junkers JU-390 would penetrate into Canada, photograph the Defense Plants in Michigan and proceed to New York. The entire route was free from Radar except over New York. Anna Kreisling, The White Wolf of the Luftwaffe knew that they had a 50% chance of being shot down over New York. This is why Albert Speer designed her a Stainless Steel Bra so that her gorgeous 38D Cup breasts would survive when she bailed out over New York!! Howard Hughes purchased this historical bra for $300,000 dollars for Jane Russell a famous Hollywood actress also with fantastic 38D breasts!
When the Junkers JU-390 flew across New York it took many important pictures that were later used in the Nazi Nuclear Program. Five hours later the JU-390 went through another air to air refueling with a Junkers JU-290 Tanker aircraft from the Portuguese Azores. This precious fuel would allow the JU-390 to safely cross the Atlantic Ocean and land in Paris. This Recon Flight was considered Top Secret by Heinrich Himmler who was in charge of the Nazi Nuclear Weapons projects. KG-200 was the squadron that operated this JU-390.

∙ 12y agoThis is a myth. The supposed flight is now considered to be German disinformation. The purported pilot, Anna Kreisling, appears to be completely fictional, and the original story claimed that the Ju 390 never got closer than 12 miles to the US. The main source for this (and the Kreisling story) appears to be the crank (at least partially pro-nazi/ apologist and technically misinformed) site Greyfalcon.
The first test flight of the Ju-390 is recorded as 20 October 1943.

∙ 11y agoNo, it was not capable of making such a long trip. It is rumoured to have skirted New York City, but this has never been verified. The Ju-390 was a long distance bomber, but there is a lot of controversy concerning whether it actually made the trip.
However, it would never have been able to fly so deep into US territory (Detroit) without being challenged.

Why did Japan want to build the Junkers JU-390?
The Japanese were impressed with the Junkers JU-390. It could fly from the German Bases in Odessa to the Japanese held fields in China. Starting in late 1943 the Junkers JU-390 would deliver secret jet engines and other valuable weapons and on the return flight carry exotic metals, uranium, and even rubber. Also this is the way Japanese and German officers carried Top Secret information. In March 1945 a Junkers JU-390 flew to Tokyo by flying over the North Polar regions. This is verified by Albert Speer who wrote about this flight. Anna Kreisling was in Japan at the time and flew back to Germany on a different Junkers JU-390. Japan was working on a Nuclear bomb and the Junkers JU-390 was the bomber they wanted to use the Atomic Bomb on Los Angeles and Hawaii.
Did the Germans fly over Chicago in World War 2?
Yes! This has been confirmed by the New York Times and Newsweek. The Junkers JU-390 Recon aircraft flew over Chicago on the morning of Aug. 28th at 8:30 in the morning. The Pilot in command was Hans Joachim Pancherz and the Co-Pilot was Anna Kreisling, The White Wolf of the Luftwaffe. This Junkers had taken off from Norway on August the 27th and penetrated into Canada. Then swung south and photographed important Defense plants in Michigan. On the way to New York the Junkers JU-390 passed over Chicago because Hitler wanted detailed aerial pictures of where all the American Gangsters lived. Near Chicago were also important American Tank and Aircraft factories! This Junkers JU-390 was seen by three formations of AT-6 Training aircraft that morning. One AT-6 flew within 65 yards of the cockpit of the JU-390 and reported that a gorgeous Blonde was blowing him kisses! He took several pictures of her as she waved to him! These pictures of the famous BERLIN BABY Junkers JU-390 were labeled TOP SECRET by the OSS and later the CIA.
Was Casablanca the Movie that was shown in the Junkers JU 390 as it flew over New York in 1943?
Although such a mission was recorded in a British aircraft review during World War II, it was later suspected to be disinformation by captured German pilots. No version of the JU-390 had anything close to the range required, even entirely filled with fuel.
Who was in charge of the Nazi Nuclear Bomb Program?
In 1938 Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt outlining what it would take to produce an Atomic Bomb. He also said the German Scientists under Hitler were also working on the Bomb. This is the beginning of the MANHATTAN PROJECT the TOP SECRET race to build the Atomic Bomb. In Nazi Germany SS Reichsfurher Heinrich Himmler was put in charge of the Nazi Nuclear Bomb program. Through Lies and deception he kept the British MI6 very confused throughout the war. In January 1943 the Junkers factory produced a long range Junkers JU-390 Recon aircraft. This was to take pictures of Michigan and New York and prove that a manned aircraft could bomb New York. This was also a message Hitler was sending Roosevelt to not even think about using the Atomic Bomb on Berlin. On August 27th this long range JU-390 took off from Norway. It conducted air to air refueling over Iceland at 8,000 feet with a JU-290 Tanker aircraft! It then proceded into Canadian Air Space. On the dawn of August 28th it was over Michigan taking pictures of Factories. On noon of Aug. 28th the JU-390 flew over the Empire State Building at 8,000 feet taking vital pictures of New York! Hans Joachim Pancherz and Anna Kreisling were the pilot and Co-pilot of this historic Luftwaffe flight. 14 hours later Anna Kreisling would bring the huge six engined aircraft into land at a base outside of Paris.
Did the Nazi's fly over New York in 1943?
There is ample skepticism that any such flights took place at all, and with the exception of the US prisoner interrogation of Unterofficer Wolfgang Baumgart in August 1944 who claimed to have participated in the February 1944 flight, the only sources of information are undocumented or anecdotal.---Not in 1945. The original claim from interrogation of a German POW was for a Ju-390 flight to New York in early February 1944.Since then, someone in US calling himself Jim Newsom (who declines to identify himself or establish his credentials) has been responsible for generating many claims about a woman by the name Anna Kreisling. The Kreisling claim has become a lightning rod for many nutcase claims both for and against such a flight. This Kreisling person, whether she really exists, or not, has since attracted a worldwide online following.The person claiming to be Kreisling claims to be an elderly former Nazi era female test pilot. She claims to have co-piloted the aircraft from Norway to Wisconsin and then to have flown back to a military airfield in France near Paris, via the New York area.This differs with the Baumgart interrogation which implies an outbound flight from Mont de Marsan near Bordeaux in Feb 1944.Kreisling, or perhaps Newsom writing as the Kreisling persona, originally made a claim at the Aviastar website in 2007 insisting that Kreisling flew a Ju-390 over Michigan and New York in August 1943.Critics claim this claim was implausible. In October 1943 however the Japanese embassy in Berlin sent an encrypted signal to tokyo giving Ju-390 performance details furnished by the Germans. In that signal which was intercepted by the Allies the maximum fuel range of the Ju-390 (without extra fuel tanks) was given as 29 hours worth at 186 knots plus a two hour reserve. The average fuel consumption of a BMW 801D engine at 1700 rpm and altitudes of 6,000-12,000 feet was 50 US gals per hour. The main impediment for the Ju-390 was excessive fule consumption over 21,000 feet. Typically Ju-290 aircraft operating maratime patrols over the atlantic operated at 6,000 feet. Given such statistics a long range flight would not be impossible.German wartime records identify the Ju-390 prototype first flew on 20 October 1943, which if correct make the Kreisling claim impossible. It is fair to say the New York flight was hotly debated before Newsom introduced a claim about Kreisling. Now it attracts nothing but ridicule to an issue of genuine historical interest. It is not unlikely that the whole Newsom/Kreisling claim has been invented to discredit genuine debate over the Ju-390.Quite independent of this debate, in 1998 a man from Burlington VT, Ruben P. Whittemore (then 44) made some enquiries online if anyone knew much about the wreckage of a six engined German aircraft in the sea 2.5 miles SW of Owl's Head, Maine, USA. Another person "PLouise" responded that she had dived the wreck and recovered artifacts including an RMZ constructors plate with the word "Junkers" on it, suggesting possibly a Junkers Ju-390 attempted the flight and failed. Whittemore, who appears not have had any agenda said in 1998 that he had relatives who witnessed the bodies of three German aviators recovered from the sea on 28 September 1944 following the crash of this aircraft on or about 18 September 1944.---John Newsom published his interview with former German test pilot and wartime Luftwaffe transport pilot Anna Kreisling, known as the White Wolf of the Luftwaffe. It is claimed that she flew supply missions into the beleaguered German garrison at Stalingrad.Unfortunately Newsom has not provided any contact details with himself or Kreisling therefore it is extremely hard to verify the claim to the standards demanded by most historians. This is such a vital part of WW2 history that it is almost criminal if her information goes to the grave when she dies. We can only hope she will leave us something for posterity which can be verified independently.According to Newsom, Anna Kreisling claims she was the co-Pilot of a six engined Junkers JU-390 reconnaissance bomber that took off from Norway on 27 August 1943 and flew first to Lake Michigan and then passed close by New York heading out to the Atlantic for a military airfield near Paris (Le Bourget?)This aircraft certainly had the endurance for such a flight. It could operate up to 12,000 ft with fuel consumptions between 250 liters/hr (230kts)- 275 litres/hr (270kts). Fuels capacity is thought to have been 52,800 lb, though this was increased in April 1944 when it's weights were re-certified.Newson claims the Ju-390 overflew Canada and then photographed defence plants in Michigan which were vital to the United States. At noon on August 28 the Junkers passed right over New York above the Empire State Building at an altitude of 14,000 feet. Many important pictures of New York were taken.The difficulty Historians would have with this claim is that officially the Ju-390's maiden flight was 20 October 1943 flown by Capt Hans Joachim Pancherz. There are claims however that an even earlier flight was made by Hans Werner Lerche of another prototype on an unspecified date in August 1943 at Bernberg. The claim of this earlier flight arises from Russian historical sources.Still this suggests a flight to USA before the aircraft could not have been properly tested if we are to accept the maiden flight occured in October 1944.Some evidence however suggests the Ju-390 aircraft flew as early as November 1942 from a photo taken of the JU-390 with registration markings RC+DA. This aircraft had a white band around it's fuselage ahead of the tail. This marking was known as the Afrika band, only used by Axis aircraft during the north Africa campaign. In the case of the Ju-390 if it was in use in north Africa it would likely have been attached to LTS.290 operating to Tunisia.The photo of "RC+DA" was taken from a ship attacked during Operation Torch landings and the original is from an album owned by a veteran living near Sydney Australia. Ju-390 test pilot Hans Werner Lerche refers to the same photo from the collection of the Deutsches Museum, Munich in his autobiography.If the JU-390 aircraft attacking the Operation Torch convoy in 1942 was "RC+DA" then this implies that RC+DA was in fact the V1 prototype and not the V2 as often claimed. On 29 July 1944 Junkers was paid by RLM for completing seven Ju-290 aircraft. There is no detailed Quartermaster record of these seven aircraft being taken on Luftwaffe strength, however 80 percent of Luftwaffe records were destroyed or lost at the end of the War (most likely confiscated by US forces at Linz and their existence denied ever since) and no records remain of RLM which may not have had aircraft listed by the Quartermaster General at all.It would be useful if Newsom, or Ana Kreisling who should know might shed further light on this point?In 1955 correspondence began between William Green, then editor of the RAF Review and an unnamed person writing from New York who claimed personal knowledge of wartime Ju-390 flights to New York. It is interesting to speculate whether this was correspondence with Kriesling herself?In November 1955 an article by Dr Kenneth P Werrell appeared in the RAF Review on the subject. Werrell however referred to a Luftwaffe photographer Unteroffizer Wolf Baumgart who was attached to the long range reconnaissance unit FAGr.5 at Mont de Marsan.As a prisoner of war, Baumgart was interrogated in August 1944 by the US Ninth Air Force, cited in A.P.W.I.U. Report 44/1945. Baumgart's interrogation was one of two POW interrogation reports cited in British Intelligence reports dated from August 1945 entitled "General Report on Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Equipment."Green later published details of the in his two books Warplanes of the Second World War (1968) and Warplanes of the Third Reich (1970). Green asserted the Allies learned of the mission in June 1944, whilst Werrell claimed they originated with interrogations of two German POWs in August 1944.Baumgart's claim appears to differ from Ana Kreislings'. According to Kenneth Werrell Baumgart talked of a New York flight about early February 1944. Ju-390 pilot Hans Pancherz himself claimed to have performed an astonishing Ju-390 flight to Cape Town, South Africa in January 1944Baumgart asserts In February 1944 another Junkers Ju-390 checked out the air defenses of New York by flying within 12 miles of the city. Photographs were taken of the New York skyline, but these have never come to light.The third Ju-390 prototype was a bomber intended to deploy tiny Me 328 parasite fighters against New York, but tests revealed the wings were not strong enough to support the laden weight of a New York mission and these miniature aircraft. The Mission was intended to deploy nuclear weapons.When the Ju-390 proved inadequate for this bombing mission focus shifted to developing the Heinkel He-274 at Tolouse in France to become the trans Atlantic nuclear bomber. The prototype He-274 was captured intact in 1944 and later used by the French Air Force. This aircraft was mentioned by a captured Luftwaffe general as the intended New York bomber.
Has President Obama ever flown in a Junkers JU-390?
As there were no Junkers 390 flying after WW2 it would be impossible for Obama to have flown in one.

Did Four Squadrons of Training Planes in Michigan see the Junkers Ju-390 in 1943?
Col. Scott Thompson U.S.A.F. has confirmed that more than 37 AT-6 Training planes flying at 6:30 on the morning of August 28th 1943 saw a huge Six Engined aircraft flying over Michigan with them in formation for more than four minutes. They said a gorgeous Blonde was flying the plane and was waving to them and blowing them kisses! On the nose of the plane was a Pin-Up girl shown diving through the clouds and in big letters it said, BERLIN BABY, on the side of the plane! When they landed they were not believed for a week. Then the OSS showed up and really interogated them! This flight of the Junkers JU-390 over Michigan and New York was Classified Top Secret! Today we know that this JU-390 was flown by KG-200 on the longest Recon flight of World War II.
Was Casablanca the Movie that was shown in the Junkers JU 390 as it flew over New York in 1943?
Although such a mission was recorded in a British aircraft review during World War II, it was later suspected to be disinformation by captured German pilots. No version of the JU-390 had anything close to the range required, even entirely filled with fuel.
What did President Roosevelt think of the Junkers JU-390?
President Roosevelt was afraid that the USA was behind Nazi Germany in the development of the Atomic Bomb. He knew that by 1942 Hitler was working on the bomb and Heinrich Himmler was put in charge of the Nazi Nuclear Bomb Program. On August 27th 1943 a Junkers JU-390 took off from Norway to photograph potential targets in the United States. It flew over Canada, Michigan and at Noon on August 28th 1943 it passed right over the Empire State building at an altitude of 4,500 feet. This Recon Flight made by Hans Joachim Pancherz and Anna Kreisling greatly troubled President Roosevelt. On January 18th 1944 the same two pilots flew a Junkers JU-390 at night within 12 miles of New York City. This was to test American Air Defenses and confirm that a Nuclear Stike on New York could be done.
When did a Junkers JU-390 FLY OVER NEW YORK?
On August 28th, at Noon a Junkers JU-390 was sighted over the Empire State Building flying at an altitude of 6,000 feet. The two Luftwafe pilots were Hans Pancherz and Anna Kreisling. Al Simpson from the NEW YORK TIMES took more than 18 pictures of this large six-engined Recon bomber. This JU-390 Recon Aircraft was custom built for this mission in February 1943, it had eight huge fuel cells in the fuselage and only a four man crew. It carried no bombs or guns and it could fly 18,000 miles without refueling.
When did the Junkers JU-390 first fly?
In December 1942 an agreement was reached that spelled out the need for a very long range aircraft that could be used as a Recon aircraft, a bomber, and also when the time came deliver a Nuclear Bomb to targets in America and be able to return to Germany. In January 1943 the first Junkers Ju-390 was ready to be tested. This was the Recon version, fully stripped, no guns, only 4 crew members, the entire fuselage contained eight huge fuel tanks. In the wings six fuel tanks. Total range was 18,000 kilometers. By August 1943, four Junkers JU-390 aircraft had been built. Yet the Junkers Factory first recorded the first flight as being in August 1943. This was done in accordance with Heinrich Himmler who was in charge of the Nazi Nuclear Bomb Program. This deception worked brilliantly! On August 27th 1943 a Junkers JU-390 long range Recon Aircraft left Norway on its mission to photograph industrial plants in Michigan and to fly over New York. This mission was vital to send a message to Roosevelt that to use an Atomic Bomb on Berlin would not be tolerated. Except that the above answer is based entirely on the claims of someone calling themselves Anna Kreisling who refuses to publicly verify they are who they say they are, present any credientials or proof of their identity and whose claims are unverifiable. The official first flight of the Ju-390 by Chief test Pilot Hans Joachim Pancherz was on 20 October 1943, therefore the above claim is can only be treated as a work of fiction until the Kreisling person comes forward in public.
