Re: Rudolf Schoenert 27.4.45
Thank you Rod,
I think the missions were flown to the "Großraum Berlin" area. During the night 24-25 April Schoenert claimed 4 Il-4 bombers shot down S of Berlin, at that late stage of the war surely "ohne Anerkennung" (without confirmation). Together with the claims of Francsi and Rapp these were the last known of the Nachtjagd against the VVS (and this type of aircraft). So I think the missions were combined ground-attack and air combat depending on opportunity. Do you know the times during which the missions were flown?
With regards
Michael
