Nachtjagd 17/18 july 1943

[Frédéric Bruyelle]

Hi all.....
I am looking for information on Nachtjagd.

It did not find an answer in the Nachtjagd Théo Boiten's books.

During the night of July 17 to 18, 1943, a Boulton Paul Defiant from the 515 sq was shot down around midnight by a German fighter. The fight was observed by a Mosquito crew from the 256 sq, which itself shot down the German fighter, presumed to be a FW190.

I am looking for the unit of this German fighter, or even the name of its pilot.

Unfortunately, as I indicated, Theo Boiten's documentation makes no mention of this case which is well documented in the Form 540/541 of the 515 and 256 sq.

Thanks in advance and have a good week ,
