Brian: II/KG 51 was active over the UK on 14-15 June, losing Fw Heinrich Ramm & Uffz Karl Seeland to 219 Sqn at 0302 hrs. I also agree that USAAF ac would be active at night albeit not as much as the RAF but the norm at that time of night would be Bomber Command, especially this night. Also, on 22 April, I agree that Halifaxes seemed to be the favoured victim but they also claimed a B-17! All matched claims by II/KG 51 after midnight can be matched to RAF losses apart from 12 Apr 44 when Lt Wolfgand Wenning shot down a B-17 of 96 BG and 28 Jun 44 when Uffz Franz Wachtler probably got a Carpet Bagger of 801st BG
