Wasn’t Reinberger courtmartialled and executed when he was returned to Germany?

I don't think so. He and Hoenmann's were both sentenced to death, but the sentence as far as I know was never carried out because they spent the war in a prisoner of war camp in Canada. I did a little looking online to see if I could find where I heard that but didn't see anything (must be in one of my books, I'll have to look). I did find this while I was looking which is pretty cool. Here is one of only three known pictures of the wrecked Me108.

Here it is.

“Hoenmanns and Reinberger were both sentenced to death in absentia, but the sentence was never imposed, because they spent the rest of the war in prison camps, mainly in Canada.”

One time I accidently parked in the managing partner's spot at the CPA firm I worked at. A supervisor noticed and said, "Whoa! CLM!. I then learned that CLM stands for Career Limiting Move. I'll bet Reinberger was thinking the German equivalent of "CLM!," when he found that he had survived the crash landing.
