30-31 January 1944 kill over Berlin at 20:08hs

Good night too all.

Looking at Tony Woods Claims list, I noticed a night-fighter victory, recorded by a 3./NJG 5 pilot and crew at 20:08hs, the timing of a combat with an Avro Lancaster crew I am researching.
010 30.01.44 3./NJG 5 20.08 Luftflotte Reich 206/44 v. 17.06.44 - E Film C. 2037 N
Is it known WHO from 3./NJG 5 claimed at that precise time??

Other possible candidates would be:
012 30.01.44 4./NJG 5 20.09 Luftflotte Reich 206/44 v. 17.06.44 - E Film C. 2037 N
and
002 30.01.44 Stab III./NJG 3 20.10 Luftflotte Reich 219/44 v. 19.06.44 - E Film C. 2037 N

Again, the names of the German pilots involved are unknown to me.

Thank you in advance
Adriano

Hi Adriano

Simply answer for the 2008 hrs claim is Leutnant Robert Wulf, The 2009 hrs claim was by Oberleutnant Josef Kraft. The 2010 hrs claim was by Hauptmann Walter Barte.

The micro film mentioned records only date and time. Daily micro film entries for January 1944(only) are missing, but we find the date/time only on claims for each Staffel, but doesn't tell you who/where or what. Need other sources to fill in the missing details.

Kind Regards

Johannes

Dear Johannes,

Thank you so much for the kind answer and help, in identifying three probable claimants.
All the best for you and yours

Hi All,

A little correction/addition: claim 20.08 hrs was made by Lt. Robert Wolf, and not Wulf. It was Wolf's 10th confirmed victory (confirmed as full victory on 17.6.44).

Cheers, Theo
