Here the links to the movie I made of Heinz Knoke : “I Flew for the Führer”

In this movie you can experience the 3 ways of how the Luftwaffe attacked the US bomber formations: guns, bombing and rockets.:slight_smile:

Very interesting videos illustrating various methods of attack on bomber formations.

Here is a link concerning the engagement with the fighter escort of P-47s of the 56th FG where Knoke shot down a Thunderbolt flown by 1st Lt Harry Dugas who was killed. During the engagement Knoke was in turn shot down by a P-47 of the 56th FG. It would be interesting to know who shot down Knoke that day.
