| A missing Flight Engr (630 Squadron) did he fly with 617 Sqdn ? H LOUK by PeteS on 13 Oct 2019 13:24 | The crew of Freddy Watts flew the first 11 ops of their first tour with 630 Squadron from Jan to March 1944 including several encounters with fighters and after returning from Nuremburg 30/31 Mar 1944 were transferred to 617 Squadron. Freddy maintained that no transport had been provided for his crew so they took their Lanc with them ND554 "Conquering Cleo" - it later had to be returned to 630 Squadron. Personnel postings in and out in the 630 ORB are either non-existent (early on) or sometimes inaccurate (later). Freddy and 3 or 4 of his crew are shown on the 617 ORB Summary being "posted in" during early April 1944 but there is no mention of Flight Engineer Sergeant H LOUK who I am having a real problem following. Please can anybody help us with H LOUK ? Does he appear in 617 ....Read More. |

According to Luftwaffe High Command reports, the Nachtjagd made claims of 14 certain and two probable victories against the first RAF raid on Politz on 8-9 February 1945. During research before writing the 1945 section of the book, "The Nachtjagd War Diairies Volume 2" (Red Kite 2008), details of 14 of the sixteen claims were discovered: Oblt. Herbert Koch: 15 1./NJG3 Lancaster N.E. Kopenhagen 19.52 poss 57 Sqn Lancaster PB382 Hptm ....Read More. |
