NG1 Herbert Lutje
I am a keen modeller who is undertaking a build of my Great Uncles aircraft and also the aircraft which shot him down. I know that he was shot down and killed by a night-fighter whilst in Lancaster VN-S ED828 returning from Bochum on night of 12th/13th June 1943.
I have obtained a report compiled from info from the Dutch resistance and local police reports at the time. They describe the pilot visiting the crash site the following day. His name was Herbert Lutje. I know from das-ritterkreuz.de that he flew for NG1 and ended the war as a Major and was decorated about 2 weeks prior to this by the General of Night Fighters (a very kind erson emailed me a copy of a photo of this)
What I would like is for any Luftwaffe experts out there to advise me on what the mk of Me110 he was likely to have flown and also any assistance with unit markings/id numbers and also the most likely paint scheme of his aircraft.
Thankyou very much
