The bomber from 14.(Eis)/KG55 that survived a ram at night 15/16.8.43

Hello,

KTB 14.(Eis)/KG55, kindly uploaded by Pawel Burchard on his website, mentions the case of the night ram:

1 Flugzeug Angriff auf 2 Züge 1/40 Richtung Ost und West und 1 Wagenreihe mit 60 Wagen im Bhf. Perwyj Schaninskij 0286. 2 Explosionen in den Zügen. Nach Bombenwurf Nachtjägerangriff von hinten, der die Maschine rammte. Linke Dämpfungsfläche weggeflogen. Nachtjäger durch Bombensplitter und Bordwaffenbeschuß bestimmt getroffen, schwarze Rauchfahne. Notlandung oder Aufschlagbrand nicht beobachtet. ...

Abwehr: Eigene Maschine gerammt. Linke Dämpfungsfläche mit linkem Höhenruder weggeflogen. Nachtjäger durch explodierende Bomben und mehrere Feuerstöße mit MG 131 getroffen, schwarze Racuhfahne, im Tiefflug unter eigener Maschine nach rechts weggedreht. Notlandung oder Aufschlag nicht beobachtet, da eigene Maschine havariert. Gerammte Maschine glatt im Einsatzhafen gelandet.

The names of the pilot and crew, the WNr and board code of the plane are of interest. Maybe there are memories of some of the participants?

The ram was made by Lt A.M.Mavrin (826.IAP PVO) at 00:55 msk on H=80-100 after the usual attack. His Hurricane was damaged and pilot made a belly landing. Mavrin thought he shot down a plane that he identified as Ju88 [Ju88C-6?].

Best regards,
Andrey
