Allied losses night of May 31st/June 1st 1944

[Andreas Brekken]

Hi, guys.

Looking through my files I have found a lot of documents I had forgotten about, and would like to see if I can match some of the information with documented losses from the western allies:

Case 0001:

Claim by Hptm. Söthe, 4./N.J.G.4, on June 1st between 0148 and 0150 hours, for a 4-engine aircraft in the vicinity of Paris (Raum UD, observed as crashed in UD 4 by Flukoposten Fluko Paris)

Case 0002:

Claim by Hptm. Söthe, 4./N.J.G.4, on June 1st between 0153 and 0154 hours, for a 4-engine aircraft in the vicinity of Paris (Raum UE 1)

Case 0003:

Claim by Hptm. Raum, Stab II./N.J.G.4, on June 1st between 0202 and 0206 hours, for a 4-engine aircraft in the vicinity of Paris (Raum BD 6)

Case 0004:

Claim by Oblt. Drünkler, Stab 1./N.J.G.5, on June 1st at 0205 hours, for a 4-engine aircraft in the vicinity of Paris (Crashed in BD 4 - 6)

Can anyone link these?
