Help wanted: Luftwaffe night fighter claims - Eastern Front
Hello!
I'd like to ask, if there were any claims of NJG.5 and NJG.100 pilots at the period from 16/17 Jan 1945 to 31 Jan/1 Feb 1945? I have no access to the book "Luftwaffe night fighter combat claims 1939-1945" and at GoogleBooks the essential pages are unavailable... Thanks in advance for any details. Best regards, Piotr |

Re: Help wanted: Luftwaffe night fighter claims - Eastern Front
Many thanks, Moonraker!
Are these records from "Luftwaffe night fighter combat claims 1939-1945"? More exactly I'm looking for a claim from the area 15 Ost S: RU / 25 Ost S: RA, ca. mid-January 1945. A combat (ca. 22-23 hours) and twin-engined Soviet plane shot by night fighter was seen by many witnesses, while downing in flames. 2 or 3 airmen were KIA, one probably bailed out. With my friends we are conducting field research to investigate the type of the destroyed aircraft. As I haven't the date confirmed yet, I'm trying know who (and when) had a claim in this area. I know it may be difficult, as late-war German records often doesn’t contain location. Any suggestion in the subject will be very appreciated. Best regards, Piotr |
