Good evening CJE !
Yes and no, I'd like to remark. In the researches of air-war-losses, I found, that the allied fighters, returning from an escort-mission well attacked enemy unarmed-training a/c if suitable. There is one documented case in my area with two Klemm 35.
But going ahead to the April/May 1945 situation, an additional perspective may show up. At this time, the German forces tried for experimental?? or other purposes to arm low flying a/c with mounts of the "Panzerfaust" in order to destroy tanks. There are mounts in the "Fieseler Storch" known.
One pilot, who lived in my area, was killed in an accident or an attack of allied fighters on 2 May 1945 after a shotup by allied fighters
near Gündlkofen, Bavaria. It seems strongly, that he was in exercise with this "Panzerfaust"at-light a/c-mounted tank crackers.
Any ideas are welcome !
