small world gentlemen, my cousin Siegfried Baer flying an Fw 190A-9 of 5./JG 301 was shot down in action on this date while his staffel and gruppe- the heavy section attacked the 491st bg. the other section of his gruppe was flying with the US P-51 escorts at a higher altitude.

Stevens was my father. Have very little info on him after Misburg, except that he was sent to Stalag Luft I. Later returned to active duty after the war, served in Korea, and was later killed in B-47 crash in 1959.
Do you have any info on him and his crews? Are any still alive? I have the 491st BG "Ringmasters" book that explains a lot...but looking for more details.
