Re: Me 410 Loss off Zeebrugge 24.8.43
Schmitter and his Bf Ofw. Heinz Graber shot down a Lancaster of 97 Sqd. over Norfolk at 0300hrs(see Intruders Over Britain ) while flying Me410 U5+CF w.n. 420214. They were subsequently shot down off Knokke which ties with the claim of S/L Arbon and F/O Ashcroft of 29 Sqn. who claimed a Me 210 10 miles north of Knokke at 0333hrs.. The Bf broke his legs baling out but both men were picked up by a Marine Unit from Zeebrugge.
