Leutnant Hans Schäfer 7./NJG 2 later NJG 3

Dear all,

I'm actually in search for some more information concerning Leutnant Hans Schäfer from 7./NJG 2.

Especially, I'm interested in the entries of his flying logbook and book of achievements for the night from 30th to 31st March 1944.

I assume it was Lancaster ND798 from No. 166 Squadron which was shot down by Schäfer during this night (Nuremberg Raid). He claimed a Lancaster shot down near Bonn.

Any help is very welcome...

Best regards, Oliver

Well I have to take Mr. Tober's word for it. He presented this and other pictures to me, at a personel meeting.

By the way, do you happen to know Hans Schäfer's date of birth? :-) DeZeng and Stankey do not provide it...
