Luftwaffe losses March 22/23 1944

[danmac]

I have found the second probable claim made by my uncle, a rear gunner with 429 Squadron, RCAF. It came on the night of March 22/23 during a raid on Frankfurt. Does anyone know of a German night fighter loss on that operation?

According to the 429 Squadron combat report, an unidentified twin-engine aircraft was encountered on the return journey at 21:58 hours. The Halifax bomber was flying at 23,000 feet when it was attacked. The position was given as 49.48N 08.30E. I suspect that might be close to a built up area because the combat report said "the encounter took place just outside a concentrated searchlight belt."

Thanks for any help
