[gawjr]

Seeking information on JaFu Sud-Frankreich downing of a USAAF B-24 "Dwatted Wabbit" (53) from 461st BG on 12 July 1944 after leaving the target at Nimes, France. Three B-24's were lost over the target area and the "Dwatted Wabbit" ditched in the Mediterranean at 11:51 AM enroute to its base in Torretta, Italy. A review of the O. K. L. Fighter Claims list indicates that Ofw. Labe, 1/JGr 200, Ofw. Eduard Isken, Uffz. Heuman, Ltn. Bell, Ofw. Felder and Uffz Coster 1/JGr 200, Hptm Georg Seckel and Uffz Ohmert reported B-24 kills on this date in the Toulon, Nimes area. Information on these pilots, type of aircraft they were flying and the name of the pilot that downed the "Dwatted Wabbit", method of attack and type of weapons used in the shoot down is sought. From my review of the data it appears that Ofw. Eduard Isken got the "Dwatted Wabbit" 80 Km. south Toulon at 10:28 AM. Information on Ofw. Eduard Isken will be appreciated.
