All the best,

Ok here is the discrepancy:

Maybe somebody has the answer.
According to Fred's document the Lufthansa "Harry Rother" was shot down on 17 April 1944.

According to this source
https://aviation-safety.net/database...0115-1&lang=de

the "Harry Rother" crashed on 15 January 1944

Can somebody please shed some light into the different dates of crash?
