This Do-24 was recovered from Lake Müritz, which adjoins the former Luftwaffe test centre at Rechlin in 1991. This aircraft was probably one of the four Do-24s that were to be used in a suicide attack on the Oder bridges in a desperate attempt to stop the Soviet advance in March 1945. The Do-24 had been chosen because it was able to carry such a sufficient amount of explosives. However, before the attack could be made all four Do-24s on Lake Muritz were destroyed and sunk by attacking American fighters.

This wonderful aircraft was straffed by P-51s and sunk burning at Lake Muritz, Germany in the last stages of WWII in 1945. Code sometimes quoted as KK-VC
