Re: B-17 Forever Amber, downed on April 10 1945
Joe's reply provided useful information, and I believe I had known this about Oranienburg and Herr Schuck (I will check my references). The target of the 487th that day was the Briest Airfield. Other groups targeted Oranienberg Airfield and other targets.
So, if Herr Schuck's kills were in the Oranienberg area, then it is perhaps likely these were not from the 487th.
I am looking forward to getting a copy of Herr Schuck's book when it becomes available in the US. I am certain it will be very enlightening.
