Thank you for the corrections and clarifications.

This story is complicated.
congratulation for a "victory" which cannot be indentified and not approuved!!

Date error and confusion with 07/10/44?

It's certainly interesting...
The MACR citing Focke Wulfs and the KU attributing to Flak....

Hello,
all this B-17 from 303rd BG shoot down by JG 3/JG 300. The aera is close to Trier/Moselle. The late Horst Weber and me research the airbattle during 1995-2000 and we have found the crashplaces from all (exept the one in Reims/France).
Bests,
