hold it ! a further notation of two victories against Halifax's and in the wrong date file.

Alex you are in luck as this may narrow the claim now to two pilots.

at 00.01 on the 28th of July Leutnant Straßner shot down 1 Halifax 4km East of Chateaudin for his 6th victory

at 00.14 ace Oberleutnant Heinz Rökker shot down a Halifax near Orleans for his 37th victory.

Alex through many German night fighter pilot/crew interviews they have mentioned a positive identification was almost impossible unless there was a night fighters moon about ............

this indeed maybe one or the other pilot of I./NJG 2 flying Ju 88G-1's
