Hello Leo,

12./13. August 1944 Target Rüsselsheim

Lanaster PB "09, 156 Sqdn, shoot down by Hptm. Schnaufer as his 89 Abschuß.
Crashed at Wasserliesch near the border to Luxembourg

Halifax III LW 695 76 Sqdn. shoot down by OLtn. Werner Hopf, 8./NJG 5 as his 14 Abschuß, crashed near Quint in wooden aera

Halifax III LL 578, 76 Sqdn. also shoot down by OLtn. Werner Hopf, his 13 Abschuß. Chorley say Hamm but there different towns that name.

The later Hptm Werner Hopf is the one Pilot escape with Junkers Ju 88G-6, WNr. 623 211, C9+AR on 13. April 1945 to the Swiss. See also the story in Axis Wings Vol. 4!
Thanks,
hans
