Luftwaffe combat reports Belgium 25/26 June 1942 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi everyone,

I've been doing some research about my Great Uncle who was in the RAF. He went down with his Vickers Wellington bomber in or near Heligoland Bight on the night of 25/26 June 1942 while on a 1000 bomber raid to Bremen.
Since they went down over the sea, it stands to reason that they were most likely brought down by night fighters, and before I start looking at anything else, I want to check eliminate/confirm this possibility.

So where would I start? Would combat reports be a good place? Or what night fighter units were operating in that area at that time? I really have no idea.

Any advice would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Nyle
