Julius Meimberg's claim, 5 September 1942
Hi,
Some secondary sources list a claim by Oblt. Julius Meimberg (supposedly his 23rd), Staka of 11.(Höhe)/JG 2, against a Spitfire participating in Circus 214 on 5 September 1942, but without giving time, place and altitude. Up to now, I have been unable to find any reference to this claim in the primary documents available on-line (Invenio). Does someone have more information about it, in particular is there any mention in Meimberg's memories (Feindberührung - Erinnerungen 1939-1945)? TIA Jérémie |

Hi Jeremie
Daily mikrofilm entries total fifteen:- 2 x NJG 1 7 x NJG 2 3 x JG 26 3 x JG 2 (1135-1145 hrs) But none for Meimberg, moreover his abschüßelist omits this, posibly unconfirmed, but more likely spurious. Kind Regards Johannes |

No entries in his Biography "Feindberührung".
According the claims list in this book no.23 was the last one at the Channel front in France, a Spitfire near Dieppe on 20 Aug 42. Next one, no.24, was in Tunisia on 25 Nov 42. |

Thank you Johannes and Bakerman,
That clarifies the matter. Best wishes, Jérémie |

I have from Meimberg copies of the signals confirming his victories and can confirm 20 Aug 42 was his 23rd
