Looking for N/F kill confirmation
Gents,

Can anyone please confirm who shot down Short Stirling Mk.I HA-K W7474 of No.218 Squadron on 3/4th June 1942, target Bremen.

I have two possible claims : Uffz Heinz Vinke II./NJG1 or Oblt Ludwig Becker II./NJG2.

Regards

Steve

Re: Looking for N/F kill confirmation
According to German sources (which after your last query could be inaccurate!), I have W7474 coming down 1500 m north of De Kooi at 0027 due to night fighter which matches with Becker's kill 2 km north of De Kooi at 0027 hrs
