Re: Encounter over Denmark
Chris,
N6071 crashed near Lyne at approx 00.57hr, I think it is safe to say the victim of a N/F. I also believe the victim of Oblt Rudolf Schöner. Two WO Reports confirm that a "Nightfighter" was the cause, there is no mention of flak, another factor to consider is that Sgt George Toynbee-Clarke(AG) required medical treatment for bullet wounds to his head and upper shoulder, which required the attention of Dr R.Nielson.
Regarding Sgt Medus, there is confliction regarding the encounter, the AM Form 540 / 541 differ in that one suggest that the n/f was damaged, the other reports that it broke off when the reargunner opened fire.
Regards
Steve
