Re: Ar 234 W.Nr. 140154 Reason for loss?

Hi Jim, many thanks for the information about the two losses. I have just ordered a copy of the unit history of the AAA unit that shot down the Ar 234 and will check if they were near Teuge, Netherlands, or Neufchateau. A document mentioned that the AAA unit shot down an aircraft on 24 Dec 1944, but it may well have been another aircraft as the type was not mentioned. But they did shoot down an Ar 234. Maybe the unit history will have some more information about this incident.

Hi Nick, many thanks for this valuable information about Obltn. Sommer's Ar 234 that confirms that he was hit by German Flak. It's incredible what kind of information can be found in the intercepted messages.
