Re: Questions on a Lancaster
Hello Tom,
T5272 is indeed the SGLO case number. Greiner did claim a Halifax but Boiten and MacKenzie believe he probably attached RA516.
“Lancaster RA516 of 576 Squadron is recorded as having crashed following a night fighter attack at 23.40 hrs, near # 48b of Mr. J. H. van Lier. At Hushoven, a few kilometers N of Weert. This Lancaster had earlier been damaged by Flak, and at 23.35 it was suddenly hit under the port wing root and burst into flames. In all probability, this aircraft was shot down by Hptm. Hermann Greiner, who claimed his 48th Abschuss to the W of Neuss at 23.40” NagdJagd War Diaries Vol. 2, page275, Theo Boiten and Rod MacKenzie.
Hope this helps.
What is your interest in RA516?
Dennis
