Re: Fighter collision with B17 14 Jul 43

I had Uffz. Gerhard Nuss in Fw 190A4 2457 of 2/JG2 who baled out wounded as a possibility, the other pilot in 7195 I believe made an emergency landing following enemy fire.
Account of collision on 14-7 by CoPilot Lt. Weniger in the book ''The Mighty Men of the 381st''. This gives the impression that the Fw 190 pilot would not have been likely to survive the collision, unless he jumped before.
Capt. Edwin Manchester later KIA on raid to Bremen on 8-10-1943
