German night fighter losses Feb. 15/16, 1944
I am interested to know if there were any Luftwaffe night fighter losses on Feb. 15/16, 1944 during a large Bomber Command raid on Berlin.
My uncle, a rear gunner with 429 Squadron, RCAF, claimed a probable kill over an unidentified twin-engine night fighter on this operation. According to 429 Squadron records, the combat took place on the outbound journey at 20,000 feet. The time was given as 21:07. The position (and this means nothing to me) is listed as 53:23N - 13:00E. The Halifax bomber was flying on a course of 159 degrees. I'm curious as to whether there might be a matching German loss to this claim and, if so, the name or names of the crew and their fate. Thanks |
