Re: (?) B-17 lost near Kitzingen 14.10.1943
Hello again,
meanwhile I read the interesting book "Alarmstart, the German Fighter Pilot's Experience in the Second World War" by Patrick G. Eriksson. Here Feldwebel Felix Sauer (JG 104) tells his story of the event. So I believe he is the pilot I was looking for, because his words match the text mentioned in the quoted diary. Sauer, formerly 10/JG 53, was promoted to Leutnant by the end of the war. Regards Daniel

Re: (?) B-17 lost near Kitzingen 14.10.1943
I researched this kill for Felix Sauer and managed to contact a number of survivors from the B-17. The gunner whom he met in hospital was the one he wanted to contact only for me to find out he had recently passed away
