Re: Question regarding loss of 2 Bomber Gruppenkomandeure on 22 April 1943

I see, so it was a deliberate ambush. Some very poor mission planning on the part of the Germans, but they probably felt safe in the dark in the absence of night fighters. I suppose it still happens, there is a faint similarity with the F-117 shoot down in 1999, when stereotypical tactics were also responsible. You are right about the steppe, I suppose Boos' years of military experience also helped. Regards, Paul Thompson |
