Hi,
thank you all for your inputs. Matti, do you know the first names of Uffz. Hillemann and Reiher? To which unit they belonged to? Was the plane shot down by e/a, or from the ground? Thanks. Boris |

Guys
How come the sources differ so much with regard to the WNr? John says 5177 and Matti 707? Which one is correct? Cheers Stig |
