Re: Luftwaffe Combat Reports
What specific information are you looking for regarding this engagement.
I have Schmitter's Leistungsbuch however not sure if the entry will contain the information you are requesting. Regards Jeremy |

hi, I wanted to see what Wilhelm Schmitter had recorded about this encounter. I know it was a chance encounter whilst both on reconnaissance but wondered what he recorded. The Lockheed Hudson was never found so wondered exactly what the circumstances and events were. thanks for any help! |
Re: Luftwaffe Combat Reports
Karaluck,
Let me look through his entries in the Leistungsbuch. I know the victory is tabulated seperately as an Abschuss and the flight entry noted in the general content which noted individual flights. Regards Jeremy |
Re: Luftwaffe Combat Reports
Great, thanks Jeremy.
A relative of mine was lost when the Lockheed Hudson was shot down; just interested really. Obviously anything Schmitter recorded or combat report would be of interest. Kara |
