Re: Luftwaffe loss
In my research of the B-17 42-30031 there are claims that it shot down (2) 109's confirmed by crewmen, townsfolk and French underground. But I have yet to find Luftwaffe loss records that match. Personally I do not believe that gunners of bombers would make claims they did not have because they did not receive credit for them like fighter pilots did. I have heard stories of records being altered (on both sides) for morale efforts to the press. I still do not understand how anyone knew what was actually happening if there was not a real set of records kept for themselves.
