4th FG Leonard Werner's Luftwaffe kills
On 11 September 1944 1st Lt. Leonard R. Werner of 4FG/334FS was flying No. 3 position in the White Section on an escort mission (8th AG mission 623). Between Eisenach and Gotha his group engages a umber of Fw 190's and Bf 109's. Time 11.30 hours. Werner chases a number of Fw 190's manages to hit them, an claims one shot down. Who knows which Luftwaffe groups(s) were active at that time an at that location? Any suggestion which Fw 190 possibly shot down at that time?
On 6 October 1944 Werner again engages the Luftwaffe. This day the target was Berlin, Werner was the lead of the Green Section. At 12:10 hours and in the vicinity of the town Nauen Werner managed to down a Bf 109 and he managed to damage a Fw 190. Who knows which Luftwaffe groups were active in this area at that time and which was the Bf 109 Werner shot down? --Cees Steijger |

Re: 4th FG Leonard Werner's Luftwaffe kills
For the 11 September, a formation of IV.(Sturm)/JG 3, II.(Sturm)/JG 300, I./JG 76 and I./JG 300 attacked the bombers in that area. Only the Sturmgruppen were flying Fw 190.
On 6 October the two Sturmgruppen from JG 4 and JG 300 with one Höhenjäger escort group each intercepted the bombers in that area. The Bf 109 claims likely belonged to I./JG 300 or III./JG 4, while the Fw 190 was likely from II./JG 4 or II./JG 300. |
