unidentified unit/pilot

Hi enthusiasts

I have a mikrofilm anomaly to try to solve.

On 4th July 1944 a claim is made for a Halifax at 0215 hrs. however there is no unit given, but an anerk.nr 19. It's for a Leutnant, name looks rather like "Bock" or "Boch".

Looking through all the NJG units I found what could be a match with the anerk for 6./NJG 101, and have an unidentified pilot Leutnant "Bock" or "Boch" making a claim at 0144 hrs 17th April 1943 with 7./NJG 101. I am 95% sure it's the same unidentified pilot.

If the mikrofilms were in error i.e the 4th July 1944 claim was actually 4th July 1943 instead, I would say it was Leutnant Heinz Bock(geb 29.11.1921)making both claims. There was often a duplication with NJG units on the mikrofilms with 1942 and 1943, so it could be, could well be.

Any thoughts ?

Kind Regards

Johannes
