FW 190 claim

My Father claimed an FW 190 destroyed on Feb. 10, 1944, 10-20 sw of Hanover. Any information on this would be appreciated.

Re: FW 190 claim

Hello,

It might help if you can give a wee bit of information regarding your father.
Was he a pilot or an air gunner?
Did he have a name, rank and service number?
What was his unit?

Regards,

Bart

Re: FW 190 claim

JG 1 and JG 11 lost a number of 190s that day in action with US fighters. However, the locations are some distance from Hannover. Without more details, it is difficult to hazard a guess. Do you have the encounter report which might have more details?
