Re: Lt Hans Schäfer
Details from Schäfer's flying logbook (Flugbuch) and book of achievements (Leistungsbuch):
Flight Nr: 300
Pilot: Lt. Schäfer
Crew: Uffz. Manter, Klietmann
Aircraft Type: Ju 88
Markings: JR
Reason for Flight: Einsatz
Take-Off: from Volkel, 22.6.44 at 00.32 hrs
Landing: at Volkel, 22.6.55 at 02.35 hrs
Remarks: Duisburg, Köln, Bonn, 2 Abschüsse
Claims:
Lancaster, 22.6.44, 01.35 hrs, Map Grid Ref NO 1, about 25 km W of Köln, height 5,800 m, enemy aircraft on return flight
Lancaster, 22.6.44, 02.17 hrs, Map grid Ref JK 9, about 20 km ESE Dordrecht, height 3,200 m, enemy aircraft on outward flight.
For some unknown reason, post-war transcriptions of the claims details, written by Hans Schäfer in the 1970s, differ in various details. For the second claim on 22.6.44 he has written the location as "Tillburg" and the height of the engagement as "5.800 m", but what is written above is as was recorded in his book of achievements during the war.
