Re: 23rd December 1944 - raid on Koln/Cologne - VC for plane shot down
In fact II./JG 26 claimed 7 Lancaster (+ the Mustang and a Mosquito, possibly from No. 105 Squadron RAF) during that combat. They did not encounter the 364th FG (which claimed victories near Tier) but No. 65 Squadron RAF which claimed one victory (over Frass) and 2 damaged in the same area.
That being said, it would't surprising that a leader took victory credit of a wingman, dead or not.
