Re: Luftwaffe crew abbreviations
Hi

Have also seen Bombenschütze as the full term for Bs.

In this meaning I would guess the relevant english term would be Bombardier?

Regards,

In American it would be. In English, it was bomb-aimer. (If you're English, a Bombardier is a corporal in the Royal Artillery).
