Re: Bf-109 Loss 07-Sep-1943 over Memmingham
Horst/Matti/Andreas
Checking Jean-Yves Lorent's JG 300 book, he places "Nasen" Müller in Stab./JG 300 this night. This automatically makes him piloting a Fw 190A-6, since that is what the Stab was equipped with.
He has looked in the same files as Andreas (and most certainly Matti), and cannot come up with any true loss (no aircraft mentioned, no damage report etc). The strange thing is that he then thinks the aircraft was a 100% loss, while Andreas is much more logic to my mind and believes the damage was so slight that no loss report was actually made. Hadn't it been for the "scratch" received by Müller there would not have been any report at all.
That night two more Bf 109G were reported as damaged, but no WNr known, flown by Lt Walter Harjes (1./JG 300) and Uffz Alfons Zeder (2./JG 300). If one of those had anything to do with JD166 is something I don't wish to speculate about.
