Re: BRUNNER, Josef, Feldwebel 2/NJG-1
Brunner's first claim on the night of 23-24/9/1943 (22.50 hrs) was at Bad Dürkheim, and the second claim (22.56 hrs) was 8 km south of Edenkoben.
It is most likely that his second victory was over your father's aircraft (JA708). Brunner's first victory was almost certainly over 103 Sqn Lancaster JB152, which crashed at Bad Dürkheim.
To the best of my knowledge, Brunner survived the war. I should have clarified in my previous post that the conflicting information on his have died during the war stems, IMHO, from an assumption that he must have lost his life after being posted missing in late March 1945 (as recorded in the war diary of Stab NJG6).
