Thanks for that Martin. My research of the German side has shown that during the air battle with the Marauders at least 20 night fighters engaged the B-26s, making 14 victory claims, ten of which were subsequently confirmed by the OKL/RLM (nine twin-engined fighter claims plus one single-engined fighter claim). Will present full details in the next volume of the NCA series, hope to fill in a few last-minute details with the questions that I raised.

Cheers, Theo
