Hello,
Some infos here...
An Ordinary Crew and here FalkeEins - The Luftwaffe blog : Wolfgang Schnaufer's Bf110G
and that from LEMB in January 2008:
here is a list from the book, Sadly the author went to the trouble of posting his victories in a list, but strangly does not provide a list of AC flown with dates, AC sub type, W.Nr's etc. I had to go through the book page by page to find these, I hope I missed nothing?
1941-1942> G9+DC Bf 110 C with no forward searching radar.
1943> G9+DZ
1944-1945> G9+DF, G9+EF Schnaufer's favorite AC, G9+MD Spare AC Flown on Op when EF was unservicable, scored two victories on night of 20/21 Feb in this AC.
Also Flew 3C+BA Mach 1*(See Note) and a second, different AC coded the same 3C+BA, This a Bf 110G4 W.Nr. 180560 on final Missons, however no contact with enemy made. This AC was previously coded G9+DX and had code changed to 3C+BA and had all kills on both fins and Surrendered with Schnaufer.
*Note The first 3C+BA was destroyed by fire on or about April 14th in an Airfield attack, See Appendix A "Another Schnaufer Myth" in the book for further explanation.
On a side note, Schnauffer also flew Ju88 3C+AA on the flight to be awarded the Diamonds and back.
Vkz. from Flugbuch Rumpelhardt, crew of Schnaufer from 4 October 1942:
Bf110C +CC, +JP, +AC and Do217 +JM, +KM.
