Re: Crash locations of five Lancaster and Halifax losses 3-4 April 1943 Essen raid?
Hello Alex,

Cheers and thanks for that -I have gone back to the Original microfilmed OKL/RLM records on NJ & Flak claims for 3/4.4.43 to check and correct the Tony Wood entries and have been able to positively match up all but three of the NJ claims, the three missing ones are the following, I am hoping that someone has the information on the matching Bomber Command losses to these three claims:

Maj. Werner Streib: 45 Stab I./NJG1 Halifax nr Gennep (6231, 5B): 5.000 m 22.52 Essen raid, victory confirmed 26.11.1944

Oblt. Martin Bauer: 3 3./NJG1 Lancaster 3 km. SE Dingden (5A): 6.000 m 23.01 Essen raid, victory confirmed 26.11.1944

Hptm. Hans-Dieter Frank: 19 2./NJG1 Lancaster 4 km. N. Kleve (Gorilla): 6.200 m. 23.02 Essen raid, victory confirmed 26.11.1944


Cheers, Theo
