Re: 05/01/1944 b-17 shot down Bordeaux, France info on Luftwaffe claims

Hi,

The only relevant Luftwaffe victory claims for B-17s that I could find were:

- B-17 shot down near Aubigné, north of Rennes, at 12:00 by the 9. Staffel of Jagdgeschwader 2, flying FW 190s (370 km from Bordeaux)

- B-17 shot down shot down at Lac Hourtin at 11:07 by the 3. Staffel of Zerstörergeschwader 1, flying Ju 88s (50 km from Bordeaux)

So it seems that your father's aircraft was downed by 3./Z.G. 1.

Cheers,
Andrew A.
