Can you tell me which two of Schoenert's Western Front kills were scored in a Do 217 ?

Have a nice weekend,

Hello Michael,

Schoenert's 1st claim in the West using the Do-217 was against a Lancaster on March 30, 1943 @ 0130 in the Mecklenberg area.

His 2nd claim using the Do-217 was on April 22, 1943 against a Lancaster @0223 in the Meckleberg area.

In both cases Schoenert/Richter were flying Do-217 "C9+CC".

Russ
