I am the son of Bernard Tuvman who was a crew member of Shedonwanna?
The plane was shot down on September 6 1943 on Stuttgart mission. Are there records on the German Luftwaffe side as to the pilot who shot down the plane? Am writing story about his experience – thanks, Ken

Name of the pilot is not known to me. Just found this website:
http://www.miakia.org/22prt-C-388thBGMissionTL-23Mar2014-(22Prt-C-(1-1.14)).htm
42-30201 is mentioned several time and KU 126 should list the name of the German pilot.
