Re: German night fighter top aces by plane
Hello Michael,
The listing of Krause as top scorer with the Do-217 is probably not correct. The top scorer in this type is more likely Rudolf Schoenert. He made at least 27 of his 65 total claims with the Do-217. 25 of these night victories were scored in Russia with I/NJG 100,while the other 2 were acheived in the west. I hope this helps clarify the issue. Russ (Source:Richter FB- Richter flew as BF to Schoenert.) |
