Hi Rolf,

At the very same day the french Spitfires shot down a further german Bf 109:

9./JG 76 / Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-14 / # 780311 / Weiße 4 + / „Freie Jabojagd“ west of the River Rhine / Shortly after take of attacked by Spitfire - Capitaine Dorance - Groupe Provence / Crash Landing in the City Park in Donaueschingen (Baden-Württemberg) - Deutschland / Unteroffizier Günther Dietrich / Badly wounded (burned) - died at the crash site (8 Days before his 20th birthday)

In Summer 2019 a contemporary witness (meanwhile a very old man), showed me the place of the crash landing. He told me, that the pilot was still alive. He screamed terribly, but nobody could help him, because the ammunition exploded. The french Spitfires strafed roads and traffic in Donaueschingen and killed a man and a child. War is horrible!

Stay healthy too.

Fred
