Re: Help with a 68/96 sqn RAF nightfighter claims?
There were 2 FW 190s lost on 15 Jan 44 with only one night fighter kill-Ofw Rudolf Berghäuser or Fw Georg Sprint of 2/SKG 10 missing.
28-29 Jan 44, a Me 410 of V/KG 2 was damaged in combat with a night fighter-no other details
24-25 Feb 44, I/KG 100's He 177s were operating over UK that night-one crashed at Yoxford and one returned with wounded crew
12 Apr 44, Lt Helmut Siol & Fw Bernhard Liehr of 1/KG 51 were reported missing from a sortie over London
14 Apr 44, Uffz Heinz Zehmisch & Uffz Heinz Kirstein of 3/KG 51 were reported missing from a sortie over London
A quick look at 68 Sqn confirms kills on 4 Jun 42 and 2 on 18 Mar 43 (not 27 Jul 42-just a damaged). No chance to look at the Jun 42 kill but on 18-19 Mar 43, it is probable that they got Hptm Hans Hansen's Do 217 of 6/KG 2 off Winterton-there was another lost to another night fighter crew that night
