[Hans Nauta]

Dear Jochen,

Thank you very much for the valuable additional information.
As I stated in my previous post I certainly do not doubt Heinz Knoke's integrity. After an in-depth research of claims, both confirmed and not confirmed, made over North-West Holland during the war I can acertain in nearly all cases (some yet to check in the NA, London) that there was no fiction involved and only misinterpretation. At least something DID happen and then some claims are less mysterious as one tend to believe...

Therefor I hope this thread doesn't turn into an andless debate about overclaiming, but eventually will lead to additional information.

After all I wouldn't be surprised if, with the aid of your information, eventually a report will turn up in the NA from some Coastal Command Blenheim crew, who logged an engagement with a He.113 (!) at that specific time and position.

Best regards,
Hans Nauta
