Hello Alex, good to meet you sir !

been studying the evenings events a bit and the Ju 88 could very well be as Martin said, a Ju 88G-1 from NJG 2. If the time is indeed a few minutes before midnight the pursuer could of been Gruppenkommandeur Hauptmann Gerhard Raht of I./NJG 2 who claimed a Lancaster at 00.45 hrs on the eve of the 28/29th of July in the area of EG-FG for his 41st victory.

Alex let me do some more investigating if I may, the next Lancaster shot down by I./NJG 2 was by ace Heinz Rökker at 01.17hrs 50 km northeast of Chaumont. the other claims that I mentioned are all for the 29th of July.

NJG 2, parts of 3 and parts of 4, flew the Ju 88G-1 as well as I./NJG 5.

Erich
