Blood Red Skies: German Ace Pilot: Walter Borchers
Walter Borchers flew Me110s with ZG 76 in the early phases of the war, scoring
10 victories in the aerial battles over France and Britain in
1940. Borchers’ unit was made into a night-fighter squadron incorporating Ju
88C heavy fighters for the Defence of the Reich late in 1941, although Borchers
didn’t score his first nocturnal victory until March 1943. His tally rose
swiftly after that, including several American four-engine heavy bombers.
Borchers’ victories rose to 46 in total by March 1945. Shortly after
claiming his 46th enemy near Altenburg he was shot down and killed by an RAF
Mosquito night-fighter.
