Re: unknown russian pilot 6/7/41
 

Nokose
I have two more I./JG51's claims:
Pe-2, 15 km NNW Rogatschew, 19.25 and Pe-2, no location, 19.40 (same source: Jim Perry's database files, primary source Prien/Bock)
Was a SB-2 lost by E/A on 8/7/41 at 19.35, 3-4 km N/Bobruisk airfield (location from other source) matching with Baer's claim ?
If not, wrong identification or transcription of Derevitskiy's Su-2 remains possible.

The Pe-2 is twin tailfin so I'm sure that wouldn't have been confused for the Su-2. So that leaves Baer's claim as the possible claim. I have no loacation for his claim but maybe someone that knows his history has that information (It's not in Prien's JFV 6/I).

location of Baer's claim above at three times : 3-4 km N/Bobruisk airfield ( source : German book published in 1943 )
Really no SB loss listed ?
