claim Lt. Brandenberger 12/13 February 1944

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Hello guys,

Thank you for the new input, much appreciated ! It is now crisp and clear that Bogensberger should be Bogensperger. For me the case is not closed yet:

1. That his claim was rejected seems logically explain the fact that it was not recorded on the official Abschussliste of the III./NJG 1 (RL 10/620). But it is a pity that where the Tony Wood list gives C 2025 N-1 as the source, the info can't be found there. The reason to read the original C 20xx file is to rule out the little chance that Brandenberger is a misread interpretation of another name linked to the Me410 in Venlo.

2. Interestingly, Bogensperger is on a list (12 April 1944) of I./NJG 1 pilots. Now it becomes interesting whether he claimed the Mosquito when he still was with the III./NJG 1 (before being posted temporarily at the I./NJG 1 in April 1944), then returning to the III./NJG 1 where he fell in June 1944.

Well, thanks to your all, the hunt goes on ! Best regards, Marcel
