T/o 1733 Pocklington. Crashed near Volyne on the Volynka, roughly 6 km SSW of Strakonice in Czechslovakia. those who died are buried at Praha War Cemetary.
3 POW and 4 KIA

more to come on this craft and the Chemnitz raid as I find time and materials. Another Lancaster I was shot down by 1./NJG Staffelkapitän Ernst-Georg Drünkler in his Ju 88G-6 by Schräge Musik. The Lanc crashed at Klasterec nod Ohri. Bohemia. Also a further Lanc I was hit and crashed with it's crew at Kranice, Czechslovakia. I am studying whom may have been responsible for this action....

Erich while you mentioned Schraege Musik, do you have any info on the number of aircraft that were shot down by this weapon. I have always been trying to figure out its accuracy.

No I do not and since many of the claims reports both day and night have been lost from Herbst 44 till wars end we will probably never know, besides the non awarding of victory claims from November 44 on.......

ok the weapon of choice for Ju 88G-6 pilots was the twin 2cm Kanon in the Schrägwaffen position
