JG400

[Laurent Rizzotti]

HSS means that the bomber was forced to leave his formation. The Luftwaffe validated such a deed as a full victory, given teh difficulty of attacking a bomber box.
On the other hand shooting down a damaged straggler was not considered as a full victory, and shoud be claimes as a "B-17 e.V.", e.V. being the initials of "final destruction" in German.
By the way, I dind't remember right now the full name of HSS, Heraus something...

LF7 is the map reference, and [Naunhof südlich Brandis] its transcription.

6000m : altitude of the successful attack

12.34: time of the attack

confirmed yes, C.2027/IIAnerk: Nr. : this means confirmed by the Luftwaffe victory confirmation system, a long process that may take years in some cases. This system broke in the second half of 1944. "C.2027/II" is the code number of the file listing the official confirmation, "Anerk: Nr." is supposed to list the "line" number in this file, but is empty here.
