4 Nachtjagd claims in daylight, 17 August 1943
Dear all,
I have been working on the narrative and claims listings for the 17 August 1943 Schweinfurt & Regensburg raid for the 2nd edition of the Nachtjagd War Diaries, and have four documented Nachtjagd claims for B-17s shot down that I have not yet been able to match to actual Fortress losses, who can help me filling in these gaps:
Lt. Ernst Terborg: 2 3./NJG101 B-17 Rosenheim-Wörgl (EE 4-GE 1): 5.500 m. 13.46
Uffz. Werner Dotzauer: 1 3./NJG101 Fortress II Rosenheim-Brixen (EE 4-GE 2): 5.500 m. 13.47
Uffz. Werner Dotzauer: 2 3./NJG101 Fortress II Rosenheim-Brixen (EE 4-GE 2): 5.500 m. 13.49 VNE: ASM. Note: probably interpreted by Abschusskommission as same claim as Uffz. Dotzauer’s Abschuss at 13.47 hrs
Oblt. Heribert Kleinschmidt: 1 6./NJG1 B-17 Esch, 5 km. ENE Euskirchen: 2.500 m, i.Zus.W. 15.20 Note on Abschussmeldung: ’Anerkennung zählt für 4.13.6.11’ –Flak claim??
Uffz. Willi Nicke: 3 8./NJG101 B-17 Maintal 15.50 (?)
Cheers and thanks for any info!
Theo
