Re: Encounter over Denmark
There were a number of aircraft lost Gardening that night (7) of which 4 were due to Flak, 2 unknown, one in an accident. Hptm Hans-Georg Schütze of 4/NJG 2 claimed a Wellington NE of Pellworm at 0049 hrs and Oblt Rudolf Schönert of the same unit a Stirling NE Leeuwaarden at 0054 hrs. The former then crashed near Pellworm with the deaths of he and his crew. There is no record of any ac damaged so either Schütze was shot down by whom he shot down (possibly X3644/115 Sqn) or by some other cause.
