Help Please - Who shot down ED668

Hello Matt

According to the excellent and highly researched The Nachtjagd War Diaries by Theo Boiten and Rod Mackenzie the Lancaster III (ED668) "DX-Y" of 57 Sqn, RAF flown by Sgt KB Dowding was shot down by Unteroffizier Georg Kraft (14 victories, killed in action 17 August 1943) of 12./NJG 1 at 2:50 over the North Sea some 40 kilometers west of Alkmaar as his 10th victory. I hope this helps you in your quest for information regarding your great-uncle.

Horrido!

Leo
