The aircraft was engaged in a special flight from Munich to RAF Northolt, near London, carrying British students who were flying back home for Christmas and a crew of seven. One minute after takeoff from Munich-Riem Airport, while climbing to an altitude of 1,000 meters, the crew informed ground about the failure of the left engine and obtained the permission to return for an emergency landing. Few seconds later, the copilot informed ground that he was unable to control the loss of altitude. In a limited visibility due to fog (800 meters horizontal and 40 meters vertical), the airplane struck the top of the St Paul church with its left wing and crashed in a huge explosion in the center of a commercial district of Munich. The airplane exploded while hitting a tramway, several cars and people and debris were scattered in the street and several shops as well. All 20 occupants on board the aircraft were killed as well as 33 people on the ground, essentially people sitting in the tramway. Nine other people were seriously injured.

The crew was engaged in a weather observation mission. After takeoff from Dessau Airport, instead of climbing and flying under IFR, the captain decided to continue under VFR mode below the clouds and in limited visibility. Ten minutes later, while cruising at an altitude of 500 feet, the airplane struck with its right wing the chimney of a metallurgical complexe and crashed in flames. All six crew members and one person on the ground were killed.

Upon landing, the right wing struck the runway surface. The aircraft cartwheeled and came to rest. There were no casualties.

An engine exploded in flight, forcing the crew to reduce his altitude and to attempt an emergency landing. The airplane crashed in flames in a field located in Krusendorf and was destroyed by fire. All occupants escaped uninjured.

Crashed in unknown circumstances 11 km southeast of Marburg while on a flight to Wiesbaden-Erbenheim AFB. The crew fate remains unknown.

Crashed in unknown circumstances at Wiesbaden-Erbenheim AFB. Crew fate remains unknown.

One of the main gear collapsed while taxiing at Gütersloh AFB. Both pilots were uninjured while the aircraft was written off.

The crew left Hamburg-Finkenwerder for a test flight. En route, in unclear circumstances, the airplane went out of control and crashed in flames in an open field located in Oederquart, Lower Saxony. The airplane was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.
Crew:
Johannes Nagel, pilot,
Horst Weihrauch, copilot,
Ulrich Doletzki, mechanic,
Werner Stegen, radio operator.

First prototype, the Baade 152 left Dresden-Klotzsche Airport at 1255LT for its second test flight with a crew of four. After several manoeuvres conducted at an assigned altitude of 6,000 meters (gear down), the crew was supposed to descent to 3,000 meters and to increase engine power to arrest the descent and to test the airplane's response to power settings. For unknown reason, the crew failed to follow the program and instead of increasing engine power, he contacted ground and requested permission for an unplanned low pass with gear and flaps up. While descending to the altitude of 600 meters, the aircraft's speed was close to stall value when the crew decided to lower the gear and to increase engine power. The four engines provided power for about 8 to 10 seconds went control was lost. The airplane entered a nose down attitude and plunged into the earth, crashing in a field by an angle of 70°. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all four crew members were killed.

The crew encountered an unexpected situation and was forced to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crash landed in a prairie located in Okarben. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.
