205 Group losses 6-7 July 1944 Feuersbrunn raid

[Laurent Rizzotti]

The Australian Archives had digitalized casualty files for a crew belonging to the Wellington LP499: http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/Imagine.asp?B=1073208

Other files exist for losses suffered this night but are not digitalized:
MF138 (not in your list): http://naa12.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetri...arcode=1068053
JP287 (in your list as JB287, a Lancaster serial): http://naa12.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetri...arcode=1077385
LP130 (typo LR130 in database): http://naa12.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetri...arcode=1065857

For the latter casualties, you can fin details in Storr files about Australian aircrew casualties.
For 70 Sqn: http://www.awm.gov.au/catalogue/rese...9125z004_1.pdf (MF138, LP130 (written LR130))
For 614 Sqn: http://www.awm.gov.au/catalogue/rese...9125z008_1.pdf (JP287)

On this link, http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...-Halifax-JP287, you will find a link to the MRES report for JP287 and LP499.

On the fold3 website, you can find in the MACR area daily lists of German crash reports, listing USAAF but also RAF and other Western Allies. On the July 1944 file, there is (in the early hours of the 7th) a series of Allied bombers in Austria: each entry as a location, a time and a report code (ME xxx or KSE xxx), but for these entries there is no serial, as it is the case for other losses:

Hope it helps

Edited: the above crash reports lists are available on the fold3 website for 1943 (one file, covering the whole year), 1944 (one file per month) and 1945 (one file, covering up to March 1945 with less and less records). They are not complete but are still very useful.

Hello Laurent and Alain,

Cheers and thanks for the links and info, very useful indeed! I will gather the info on the Fels-am-Wagram raid losses & compare these to the German NJ claims on 6-7 July 1944.

Cheers, Theo
