Re: 361st FG P-51 lost against D-9?
 

If however the date was the 26th Dec,1944 then from the available Luftwaffe claims lists on line there were six P51's by Luftwaffe pilots.
Uffz Helmut Bollwerk - 5/JG 2.
Uffz Jurgen Kirchhoff - 5/JG 2 -(2).
Hptm Georg Schroeder - Stab II/JG 2.
Uffz Rudolf Trager - 6/JG 2.
Few Hans Braun - StabIII/JG4 - Havelange, Ardennes.

So perhaps Braun's victim?

SCHWARZ claimed 'his' P-51 near Givet; Hargnies (F) is just South of Givet, at NW of the 361th FG combat area.
Perhaps a F-6 ?

Havelange is northern, and in Mombeek book, area of claim is rather "some 30 km West of Bastogne", not really Havelange but closer to combat area (Neufchateau-Libin).

Preddy was lost toward Eschweiler (by memory).

Thanks anyway.
