Wednesday January 19th, 2011 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II - Komets over Leipzig
This week's Snapshot is "Komets over Leipzig" hosted by mrmidi. In early August 1944 the US daylight offensive on Germany's oil industry was at its peak. Several Me163 intercepts had been made on the formations before July ended. It wasn't until early August (the exact date unknown) when Lieutenant Hartmut Ryll claimed the Me163's first combat kill. A B-17 downed during a midday sortie. The next day, Feldwebel Siegfried Schubert got the second by removing the entire tail of a B-17 with only three rounds from his 30mm Mk 108. But it was on the same day that Ryll was lost to P-51 escort fighters. Fuel Shortages for the Komet put operational sorties few and far between. Until, Amazingly on October 7 the I. /JG400 put up 20 Komets. Fortunately for the Americans, only a few 163 have made it close to the bombers, and none achieved a kill. Schubert was killed on this sortie when his 163 detonated on takeoff.
