Re: Losses at Brussels - Le Culot and Soesterberg Feb 1944

Hiya all,

Can anyone shed light on German losses, the following information I have, and were Intruder claims from 605 Squadron.

- 04 Feb 44 1x damaged Brussels and 1x destroyed at Le Culot, this would of been AM around 0600 - 0700 in the morning.

- 20/21 Feb 44 1x damaged from cannon fire at Soesterberg, 2 other Luftwaffe aircraft made belly landings but don't believe this was from this Intruder, maybe undercarriage issues?

Thank you for your time and help!

Regards

Danny

Danny: Your problem will always be for 1944 that with the vast majority of Luftwaffe records missing, unless there were crew casualties/logbook/airfield diary, damaged aircraft are hard to tie down. On 3-4 Feb 44, II./KG 6 was operating from Le Culot but there were quite a number of aircraft lost that night from KG 6 and other units. I can see a crash near Malmedy but nothing else. Likewise 20-21 Feb 44-many losses but nothing that clearly ties in with your claims.
