Luftwaffe nightfighter loss (losses?) 19th Nov 1943?

[wwrsimon]

Hello again everyone

I have another RAF Bomber Command combat report, this time from November 19th 1943, from Halifax II JD469 of 102 Sqn. The rear gunner claimed two Ju-88s at 20.06 and 20.15 hours, at a height of 15,000 feet, course 272º at 170 knots. The position for the second one is given as 50.55ºN, 05.20ºE, which is between Liege and Namur. (The position for the first is seemingly mis-typed, being given as 50.55ºN, 46.10ºE, which is somewhere NNE of Volgograd...).

The first Ju-88 attacked the Halifax from the rear and below, but the rear gunner returned fire, and the combat report states that the "enemy aircraft broke away to starboard and then burst into flames. Enemy aircraft was seen to explode on the ground by both gunners and the Engineer."

The second Ju-88 attacked the Halifax from the starboard beam and below, and the rear gunner once again returned fire. The Ju-88 "was seen to spin towards the earth with a motor on fire."

Are there any Luftwaffe losses that may tie in with the two claims?

Many thanks.

Regards

Simon
