Gents, is this loss report is correct?

Re: Luftwaffe losses, Kiev, 6.11.1943, asking for help.
 

I think, that it is not correct. Quite possible, that this is it, whose location in NVM is also Pl.Qu 01582:
1943-11-06, 9./Schl.G 77, Ju 87D-3, 110872, S2+KT, 3 km nördlich Maljutjanka. Notlandung infolge Flakbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.

Also:
1943-09-06, 8./St.G 3, Ju 87D-3, 110486, Fl.Pl. Smolensk-Nord, Bruchlandung. Bruch 40 %.
Maybe this was still under repair in November?

Hi.

Here is that last record as it is in the GenQu list - I just checked it for any typos in the database:

Why do you ask? Did Rudorffer claim LaGG-5's ? :D

Re: Luftwaffe losses, Kiev, 6.11.1943, asking for help.
 

Hi.

Was there sucha a thing as a LaGG-5? I thought the designation was La-5, a development of the older LaGG-3 design?

LaGG-5 is a mistake that is often found in german records.

Re: Luftwaffe losses, Kiev, 6.11.1943, asking for help.
 

As well as LaGG-7, LaGG, Il-5, Il-7, MiG-1 and many others.
