Night fighter Me-110 loss on 29/30 August 1944

[Delmenhorst]

Hi Gregor30

I am in these days laying the last hand on a 375 pages book about the attacks on Stettin, Kiel and Königsberg in the last part of August 1944. I have been researching for this book 'for a few years' and I am pretty convinced that PA163 was shot down without doing any serious damage to the attacking German night fighter. There were only a few night fighters scrambled early enough to encounter the early crossing of the west coast of Jutland and none of these night fighters were Bf 110. It was Ju 88's as far as I found out.

I think that it was wishful thinking of Wasik (if the information about the damaged German night fighter comes from him). His whole crew was killed.
