First German loss due to B-17
Would anybody know of the first fighter loss of the Luftwaffe due to defensive fire of a B-17?
I came across Oblt. Elmer Göcke 4./JG26 on 2.10.1942 but actually he did make a forced landing and later died in the hospital. Another one that come close I think is Uffz. Viktor hager who's Fw 190 was hit hard on 9.10.1942 by 301BG B-17's, he left his plane but his failed to open. He fell to death.
