Re: Please, help to identify who could have claimed this MBR?

No match in German claims known to me.

In this area, my first guess was a Bf 110 of 10.(N)/ZG 1 that flew dusk, night and dawn mission but they claimed nothing this day. Other claims listed were for 2 Mitchell, or for Il-2 or fighters, and I can't see any of these being for a misidentified MBR-2.

The closest MBR-2 claim was done by a Luftwaffe pilot on 23 May 1943.

I could be a Romanian claim, but in this case it could not have been a Bf 110.

Another possibility was that it was a German 2-engined bomber, that used an opprtunity to surprise and shot down a Soviet patrol aircraft, as both sides do. In this case, the "claim" won't appear in usual lists.
