Re: German Air gunner Kills
I have been researching the Flugbuch of Bordfunker Oberfeldwebel Martin Heinze (DKiG 28th April 1943, EP 15th October 1942). He flew in Bf 110s from 1940 through to 1944 and has two confirmed kills while flying with 6./ZG 1:
1. Spitfire near Trapani, Tunisia on 26th April 1943 - fits perfectly with Spitfire Mk IX EN294 of 72 Squadron, flown by Pilot Officer F. Malan, who was last seen chasing a Bf 110 and posted Missing in Action.
2. B-24 Liberator near Gmunden, Austria on 23rd February 1944 shot down using MG 81 (twin machine-guns). The USAAF 376th Bomber Group lost seven B-24s in that area on that day so a match is quite possible.
