Theo Boiten's Nachtjagd War Diaries, two volumes, if you can find them without mortgaging your house or selling a kidney.
More modestly Nachtjagd-The Night Fighter Versus Bomber War Over the Third Reich, 1939-45 by the same author.
Foreman and Parry, Luftwaffe Nightfighter Combat Claims. Most useful in conjunction with data from Bomber Command's side of the campaigns.
Boiten and Bowman's Battles with the Nachtjagd.
There are many more. I haven't mentioned some older publications.
Cheers

There's also Gebhard Aders' "History of the German Night Fighter Force". Would stay away from the Foreman / Parry book - it passes into the reals of fantasy, probably better just to chase down the latest link to Tony Woods' lists of Luftwaffe claims.
Hey Tomo,
Not sure where you find this tuff, but you came up with a very nice link yet again.
Thanks yet again!
You may want to thank parsifal, he mentioned the author in the thread about Flak years ago.
Foreman and Parry do not pass into the realms of fantasy and it is unfair to suggest they do.Cheers

Yes from the Start: December 1939, first interception of a British Bomber Raid on Wilhemshaven got detected by a Freya at Helgoland Island. Personal initiative of the local Commander, and phoning in the Raid to the Nearest Luftwaffe Airfield, brought succes:Does anyone know when they started flying nightfighter intruders in with the bomber stream?
