Re: german night fighters in north eastern France

There is a book listing NJG claims and it has nothing for the night of 22-23 July 1944.

In awful weather, the nightfighters usually stayed on the ground. And will certainly not chase low-flying SOE aircraft.

On the other hand, a Stirling flying at 2000 ft might have been fired on by light/medium Flak. But I think that a weather-related accident is far more plausible, especially if the survivor didn't report that the aircraft was hit by enemy fire.
