lookup assist for 26 nov 43 berlin

[harrycam2]

Just a question if somebody has Luftwaffe Night Fighter Claims: Combat Claims by Luftwaffe Night Fighter Pilots 1939-1945 by John Foreman or any other similar reference to hand.

I am interested to find any possible claims for a lancaster on the night of 26th Nov 43 above Ahrensfelde or similar area just to the NE of Berlin,

Hello Harry

On that date Oberleutnant Gustav Tham (15 victories) of 11./NJG 5 claimed a Lancaster at 21:45 over Berlin as his eighth victory and Leutnant Josef Kraft (56 victories, RK) of 6./NJG 5 claimed a Lancaster at 21:52 over Berlin as his sixth victory. It appears that the bomber in question was Lancaster III (JB350) "PM-L" of 103 Sqn, RAF flown by F/O AJ Sumner, 5 killed, 2 POW. I hope this helps you.

Horrido!

Leo
