Ofw.Willi Glitz

I have the following five night fighter claims that could tie in with this incident, but would it be possible for you to get a copy of the combat report, which would give more precise info on the incident?



Cheers, Theo

Oeps, forgot to paste the five claims into my posting, sorry about this, here they come:

Ofw. Wilhelm Glitz: 10 Stab NJG2 Lancaster area Dreux-Illiers (BC-CC): 2.500 m. 23.56
Maj. Paul Semrau: 31 Stab II./NJG2 Lancaster 10-50 km N to NW Orléans (DD): 2.100 m 00.01
Lt. Erich Jung: 11 6./NJG2 Lancaster Orléans-Auxerres-Bourges: 3.100 m. 00.10/12
Maj. Paul Semrau: 32 Stab II./NJG2 Lancaster (W.) Orléans (ED): 2.300 m. 00.11
Hptm. Hubert Rauh: 21 Stab II./NJG4 Lancaster 10-50 km N to NW Orléans (DD): 2.400 m 00.17

By the way; do you perhaps have a photo of the crew and of their Lancaster?

Cheers, Theo

thanks for that. heres the photo of the crew and pb265.
from other forums I have been informed that the Erich Jung claim is inaccurate as he was not near Orleans at the time, but Im still open minded about that!
If you do a google search on Sgt JM WEIR Lancaster PB265 then all of my research so far will pop up(dont want to post other forum links )
Identifying this NF attacker is my main avenue of investigation at the moment.

The info on Erich Jung comes straight from his Log of Achievement (Leistungsbuch) so that should be ok!

Cheers, Theo

Erich Jung's kill close to Orleans on 24/25th July was on Lancaster ND560 (DX-N) of 57 Squadron – my uncle Alan Moore was the flight engineer on this plane.
