Re: Knoke's claim, Nov 6 1942
Hi Kutcha,
I discussed this matter years ago with Franck Ruffino. The main 'problem' is that for all Ventura's a Flak claim exists:
AJ200: 14.31 hrs 2 km Z Spijkenisse
AE848: 14.35 hrs North Sea W Bergen aan Zee
AE784: 14.38 hrs Waddenzee 5 km E of Den Helder
Apart from that, crew members who perished are all buried in The Netherlands, virtually impossible that Knoke's claim could have been one of the Ventura's. So I cannot agree with the assumption of Franck.

Hans Nauta
