Re: Night-fighter losses on 1/2 January 1944
Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for your response. Obviously the training in your time was comprehensive and the morale very high.
When do you feel there was a change in the night-fighter crew atmosphere? No doubt it was due to a number of reasons over a period of time, but what in your view are the significant events that diminished the effectiveness of the Luftwaffe night-fighter arm (eg. the need to fly at tree top height to avoid RAF night-fighters, the jamming of communications by the RAF’s 100 Group, the unserviceability of aircraft, lack of fuel for operations, etc.)?
Does anyone else have an opinion on the events or lack thereof that curtailed the Luftwaffe’s night-fighter force?
Kind Regards
Pete A.
