Jéremie and Stig,
Many thanks for the new information ( for me ) about the actvities of NJG 101 during the Stuttgart raid in 14/15 April 1943.
I am aware of the books of Theo Boiten and they are on the top of my list of "Wanted"; however they are very expensive for our standards down here...
The information I do have come from Tony Wood´s list ( known to everyone down here ), but allas, as a lot has commented, it is not 100% complete ( there are many mysteries ( claims ) unsolved yet ).
What I found is down below, from which I started to check with the RAF lossses for the Stuttgart raid, some claims were easily matched; however a lot is unmatched yet. I will put down here what I think matches and what I had trouble tonight. Here only the claims from Wood´s list:

We can see the claims of Fw Robert Lüddecke. I tried but got no joy in identifying the places, but as Stig wrote, maybe KORBA is on the Mediterrenean!

Many thanks for both of you for enhancing my knowledge about this particular raid. May I ask you, STIG, could you give me the name of the Flieger of 7./NJG 4 machine? Do you have the codes of both machines of NJG 4 ( 7. Staffel and 11. Staffel )?

Thanks a lot
Adriano
