Battle over Romania on April 16, 1944
In accordance with Romanian Military Archives, on April 16, 1944 Luftwaffe shot down over Romania 6 american bombers (4 certainly and 2- probably) and lost a pilot. In that day, Luftwaffe based in Romania (for instance II./JG51, 10./JG301 and others) raised 81 fighter against of the USAAF 47th BG which struck Brasov.
I should learn which German pilots claimed victories and who was the pilot lost (name, unit, location it is possible). Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance for your answers. DAN |

Battle over Romania on 16 April 1944
Hi Dan
Wood's claims files list the following victories, all for JG 51: Unteroffizier Rudolf Jurgens of 5./JG 51 claimed a B-24 at 11:28, Leutnant Otto Schultz of 6./JG 51 claimed a B-24 at 11:30 (possibly his 62nd victory) and Feldwebel Elias Kühlein of 4./JG 51 claimed a B-24 at 11:33. Unfortunately, the other three claims that you mention are not included. Hopefully someone else can help you with the loss. Horrido! Leo |

Battle over Romania on 16 April 1944
Hi Dan
I am glad that I was able to help somewhat. I maybe should have added that all three of these victories are listed as having been confirmed. I hope that you have luck with the further one confirmed and two unconfirmed victories as well as the one loss registered. Horrido! Leo |
