Re: Do-217 on the eastern front?
I recall comments that Dornier night fighters were not popular on the Eastern Front because the undercarriage was considered too weak. Presumably this would read across to the bombers as well.

The Hungarians also used Do 215s, up until late 1943. The Croats, too flew Do 17Zs on the Eatern Front for quite a while.

The Dornier in "Der Adler" appears to be one of the Do 17Z nightfighters for me...
