Re: Major Karl-Heinz Kamp (III/JG 300) loss.

NVM is indistinct but it was a Bf 109 G-10 (not a Ju 88 G-10), 491233 or 491253 with double chevrons. Combat was north of Hannover (north of Hamburg would be over the sea).

Kamp was a very experienced day fighter pilot (with I/ZG 76 from the start of the war) and then a nightfighter pilot with NJG 1 and NJG 4. With the losses being suffered by the Luftwaffe at the end of 1944, his experience would have been needed. His claims were 21 by night, two by day

As to who got him, there were quite a number of claims this day but only the 370th FS claimed anything near Hannover claiming 6 Bf 109s destroyed, one probable and one damaged
