Claim Hptm. Schmitter/Fw. Gräber 15./KG2 23-24.8.43?
Dear all,
On the night of 23-24 August 1943, Hptm. Schmitter of 15./KG2 destroyed a 97 Squadron Lancaster near Cambridge: Hptm. Wilhelm Schmitter: 2 15./KG2 4-mot E. Cambridge: 200-300 m. 04.08 97 Sqn Lancaster EE105 Is it correct that Schmitter himself achieved the kill, or was it shot down by his Bordfunker Fw. Heinz Gräber? Cheers and thanks for any info, Theo

I have documented a fair amount about Schmitters history including the flight you noted. If you click on the link below to my website and scroll down to 23/24 August 43 there is an accounting of this loss by the Lancaster pilot. http://aufhimmelzuhause.com/id101.htm It would appear based on his recollection that Schmitters was responsible for the victory. Cheers Jeremy
