Re: Karl-Heinz Becker claims vs mosquito losses
Hi G,
firstly, from Becker's combat reports, the details of his Mossie claims are:
21/03/1945 Mosquito Teltow area, S. city edge Berlin (GG5-6): 8.500 m. 21.34
23/03/1945 Mosquito Zehlendorf district Berlin (GG 2): 8.000 m. 23.50
23/03/1945 Mosquito Central Berlin (FG 8): 8.000 m. 23.53
24/03/1945 Mosquito 3 km. S. Fehrbellin (EF 8): 9.500 m. 21.34
27/03/1945 Mosquito 5 km. W. Nauen (FF 5): 8.500 m. 21.38
30/03/1945 Mosquito Berlin-Tegel (FG 5/5): 8.500 m. 21.52
The claim locations are originally listed under the LW grid reference (I've added the text locations for clarity). Please see the attached map that illustrates the location of these claims in relation to Berlin.
Secondly, Becker and 10./NJG11 were tasked with combating the 8 Group Bomber Command Mosquito bombing raids on Berlin. If you look at the heights (in metres) recorded for his claims then clearly any Mossies tasked on intruder duties can be discounted.
Cheers
Rod
