Re: Uffz Walter Schienbein 2/NJG1
Hi Adrian & Marcel,
The answer to this matter is simply that the claim by Schienbein was rejected and the victory credited to Flak & Flak searchlights, I've found this in the official OKL/RLM Abschussmeldungen (for the NJWD 2nd ed. I've studied and analysed all of these Abschussmeldungen on microfilm covering 1940-44 over the past three years, the results will be published in the new series of books in 2016 -thanks again Marcel for lending the microfilmreader! ):
The Wellington was illuminated by 'Gruppe 2' and also claimed by Flak of 1. & 2./Res. Flak Abt. 447 (Grossbattr.), 1. & 2./Res. Flak Abt. 646 and 1./Res. Flak Abt. 305 (Wellington nr. Helmond 03.22 hrs).
Cheers, Theo
