Re: Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer - targeted by the RAF?
Hello
Maybe the actions on 17/18 Aug 43 when some nightfighters of 141 Sqn ambushed some Bf 110s of IV./NJG 1 are the base of this story. Braham/Jacobs shot down Fw Kraft's (14 kills) and Fw Vinke's (20+ kills at that time) planes, White/Allen shot down Hptm Dormann's and Lt Dittmann's planes. Schnaufer had also took off but aborted because of engine failure. Now at that time Schnaufer wasn’t yet among top aces IIRC and while good unit 141Sqn wasn’t “elite formation of picked crews” even if it was the first Serrate unit.
