loss 6./NJG4 Do 217 at St. Jean 7-8 May 1944
Dear all,
Whilst working on the 7-8 May 1944 narrative and claims listings for 7/8 May 1944 for the NJWD 2nd ed., I found a Do 217 N-1 loss of 6./NJG4, which was reportedly shot down at 'St. Jean' in France. Actually, the Nachtjagd crew (Oblt. Schäffer and crew) claimed a Stirling destroyed off Ushant:
Oblt. Karl-Heinz Schäffer: 5 6./NJG4 Stirling sea off Ushant (LJ 55): 500 m. 01.02 unidentified. Note: victory confirmed 18.8.1944
2 questions:
-Who can tell me the location of St. Jean, as there are many St. Jean's in France?
-who has any info on a Stirling loss (or possibly a Stirling damaged in air combat) off Ushant on 7-8 May 1944?
Cheers and thanks for any info, Theo
