Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. I wonder if you could help me further to solve a 73 year old family mystery.

The quote that I saw was on the website https://www.plane-crashes-heidelberg...bach-sinsheim/. It states when referring to Lancaster PB 638 (E W Fletcher was the Bomb Aimer) shot down on 28th January over Stuttgart (translated through Google translator):

'the Lancaster was in the night attack on Stuttgart and was from OFw. G.Bahr of 1./NJG 6 shot down over Stuttgart. This week has OFw. G.Bahr 2 more Lancaster shot down with his Me110 ID 2Z + IH. The Lancaster crew tried to fly back to England, but crashed in Michelbach in the forest’.

Do you know if this information would have come direct from Gunther himself, either through his flying log, or the NJG 6 ORB (sorry I don't know the German equivalent) or in a conversation?

Carrying out further research today I have found out that Gunther had four claims in the 28th not two.
