Re: How did NSG 20 find their targets at night?
Post-D-Day, German night bombing attacks tended to be against targets of opportunity in the vicinity of various locations. With Allied forces moving eastwards and the front lines being generally known, I would go with Nick on this-NSG 20 was in the right place at the right time; the opposite for 2 Lincolns. Think also about the workload in the FW 190 cockpit-navigating there and back, avoiding Flak & fighters, finding a target.....and at night. My book supports this from the first missions-look at what Lt Fritz Setzer said
