Re: Oblt Karl-Heinz Schaffer NJG 4
I assume this is about Oblt. Karl-Heinz Schäffer, with an Umlaut.
According to the flight log of his crew member, Schäffer accomplished four Abschüsse in 1944. I don't know how many were confirmed.
On May 6th, Schäffer took off at 00:03 from Tavaux, and returned at 01:26. A Liberator is claimed that night. The time corresponds with the record in RL5/1449.
On May 8th, Schäffer was operational from 00:07 from Tavaux. They claimed a Short Stirling. Briefly after 01:00 the crew abandonned their Do217 through parachute because of an engine fire.
Kind regards,
Mathias
