16-17/6/44 night fighters over England
Were German night fighters/intruders active over England on the night of 16-17 June 1944?
The compliation of air-air victories from BA-MA microfilms includes the following information on 17/6: Kdo. IX. Fliegerkorps/Lft.3 1. Uffz. Ottern 6/kG51 claimed u/i 4-engine aircraft at 2225/05 Ost, 4,500 m [England] at 0200 according to Film C 2027/IIAnerk Nr. 15 1. Fw Trenke 6/kG51 claimed u/i 4-engine aircraft at 121/05 Ost, no height [England] at 0215 according to Film C 2027/IIAnerk Nr. 16 Questions: 1. Can these claims be related to any specific Bomber Command or other loss over England at that time/place? 2. Can anyone provide a reference to a source that would provide the location of the grid references aove? Thanks David Isby
