Leutnant Hermann Leube

Hello Tony

According to The Nachtjagd War Dairies by Boiten and McKenzie the identity of the Stirling that Leube claimed on the night of 2/3 August 1943 is listed as being possibly Lancaster III (W5000) "QR-B" of 61 Sqn, RAF flown by F/O R Lyon. Four Stirling four-engined bombers were claimed by German pilots that night and the victims of two of these are identified as such while the Stirling claimed by Hauptmann Hans-Joachim Jabs is identified as being Lancaster I (W4778) "KM-T" of 44 Sqn, RAF flown by F/Sgt AR Moffatt and that claimed by Leube is as above. I hope this helps you somewhat.

Horrido!

Leo
