Ju 52 ir Ju34 loss 18. April 1945 Harz-Mountains
Hello,
did any US or RAF Nightfighter claimed an Ju 52 or Ju 34 on that day? Location is the small village Elend at the Harz-Mountains. Thanks! h. |

No claims for either type by any Eighth, Ninth or First Tactical Air Forces fighter groups or squadrons on this date.

That site says it happened on the 17th (not 18th)
As per Shores/Thomas 2 TAF claimed a Ju 252 at 14.00H at a place named Vechlin on the 17th. Google maps can't locate the place so probably misspelled, Frank Olynyk does not list any Ju 52 or W 34 claims for neither 8th nor 9th AF Cheers Stig |

This was just after the supply flights to the Ruhr pocket ended (Army Group B communications ceased on the 17th) but the Luftwaffe was looking at whether it could supply 11th Army in the Harz Mountains. Whether any such flights were attempted, I don't know.
