Re: Gerd Thyben's western victories

I was looking at the P-47 C-2 from the 56 FG (63 FS) that was lost on the 8th but it has that it was last seen over the Zuider Zee at 16:00 by Lt. Charles Clamp. So Thyben's claim was at 15:34 (Berlin) so did he shoot down his P-47 coming in during the raid or as it was leaving? The 56 FG P-47 was never found and 2nd Lt Dover C. Fleming is listed as MIA. So possibly Clamp was mistaken on who he saw at that time.

Okay, still left in the mystery is his P-38 claims on the 11 Feb 44. If not shot down was there any damaged ones that might have been involved?
