Lt Hans Schäfer
Hello,
For school lesson material I am looking for information on Lt. Hans Schäfer, who claims to have shot down the Lancaster LM508 above Werkendam, the Netherlands. Hope to find out some more about him and also to be able to find a picture. |

Re: Lt Hans Schäfer
Hi there Corine,
You probably refer to this pilot, Oblt. Hans Schäfer, from 7./NJG 2. You have a thread about him in this forum here: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/archiv...p?t-15985.html As for a picture, here you go: http://www.aircrewremembered.com/raf...ermalcolm.html Cheers Marc |

Re: Lt Hans Schäfer
Corinne,
For LM508, SR-P, 101Sqdn RAF, lost 21-Jun-1944 here are the détails: http://www.lostaircraft.com/database...wentry&e=9180# According to the thread given by Marc, Schäfer - if that Schäfer - didn't claim any Lancaster that night ... But the mission starting the day and ending the following day ... Regards, Franck. Correction: The mission started on 21/06 at 23:17. Effectively LM508 was lost on 22/06. Don't understand why lostaircraft.com retained 21/06 for the lost date. Last edited by ouidjat; 5th September 2014 at 22:43. |

Re: Lt Hans Schäfer
Chris is right.
The photo is wrong for the Lancaster story. It's not the Schaefer from NJG2. For Hans Schaefer from JG3 ---> http://www.luftwaffe.cz/schafer.html digedag1 |

Re: Lt Hans Schäfer
Details from Schäfer's flying logbook (Flugbuch) and book of achievements (Leistungsbuch):
Flight Nr: 300 Pilot: Lt. Schäfer Crew: Uffz. Manter, Klietmann Aircraft Type: Ju 88 Markings: JR Reason for Flight: Einsatz Take-Off: from Volkel, 22.6.44 at 00.32 hrs Landing: at Volkel, 22.6.55 at 02.35 hrs Remarks: Duisburg, Köln, Bonn, 2 Abschüsse Claims: Lancaster, 22.6.44, 01.35 hrs, Map Grid Ref NO 1, about 25 km W of Köln, height 5,800 m, enemy aircraft on return flight Lancaster, 22.6.44, 02.17 hrs, Map grid Ref JK 9, about 20 km ESE Dordrecht, height 3,200 m, enemy aircraft on outward flight. For some unknown reason, post-war transcriptions of the claims details, written by Hans Schäfer in the 1970s, differ in various details. For the second claim on 22.6.44 he has written the location as "Tillburg" and the height of the engagement as "5.800 m", but what is written above is as was recorded in his book of achievements during the war. |
