Re: Nightfighters St Nazaire March 1943-Schnaufer and Herget
Vol 1 of Nachtjagd War Diaries has no entries for any aircraft shot down by nightfighters on the St Nazaire raid of 22/23 March 1943. The book entries for that period show an aircraft shot down on 19/20 March 1943 and the next aircraft shot down by the nightfighter force are shown for raids on 24/25 March 1943.
The Bomber Command War Diaries (by Martin Middlebrook & Chris Everitt) have just one Lancaster lost for that raid but doesn't mention the cause or aircraft specifics.
