Brief update to lancaster 514 sqdn. I have finally dispatched the letter to Heinz Roekker (in German) concerning July 28/44. Let us hope both Heinz and Herr Strassner are in good health and able to make contact (friendly) with us. More night fighters. May 19/44 near Lemans. Take off 22:50 duration 4hrs 50 mins. Two attacks by Me 109 and one by FW 190.
May 22/44- Absolute nightmare. Take off 22:55 duration 4hrs 25 mins.Fighters were Me109 and FW190. Logged 12 fighter attacks!
Most were by 109's. A Luftwaffe Major Gerhard Doehler told me he had attacked a Lancaster over Dortmund that night at 01:15 May 23 in a FW190. I hope this does not tax your search equipment too far. Hope for the future, Cheers EA Campbell
