RE: Flakvierling just enough to perhaps down Il 2

<HTML>Hi Andrey

Sometimes escort fighters strafed escort vessels to suppress the AA defence for the attacking bombers. For example Wildcats strafing an U-boat to cover an attack by Avengers.
Did the Soviets not do that?

Yes, U-242\'s claim is doubtful..
