Re: Mosquito shot down on 17.3.'45.
If you take a look at the “Books & Magazines” section. Andreas Zapf has just announced a shortened version, in English, of his book on NJG 11’s jet night fighters. That might answer your question.

Zapf does a thorough review (9 pages) of Welter's complete claims list. His research appears to be exhaustive and objective. The picture of Welter that emerges from this is not pretty, but it seems he was no less reliable in his claiming than many other Wilde Sau and night-fighter pilots. Leon Venter |

Thank you for this data. Please, how to proceed research for location of Mosquito crash sites?
Welter's claims contain Pl.Q.? |

From what Leon is saying, no claims or evidence=no PlQ
