The Nachtjagd Combat Archive The Early Years part one by Boiten gives the loss for the night of 7-8 July, the type 'Bf 110 D-2' and mentions the crew of two perishing...

Maybe Bordfunker Petzold succumbed to his injuries later?

Kind regards,
Timon

Petzold died on 29 September 2002.

...and I have his logbook if you want any more info as he was ex-2./ZG 76

Thanks Chris. Did Petzold later serve as Funker to Oblt. Hans-Joachim Fincke in 2./NJG1? If so, could you check Petzold's Flugbuch entry for 1-2 July 1944?

Cheers, Theo
