Robert,

Thanks for the response and info. Very helpful.

Do you (or anyone else) have any ideas/data on the June and August kills?

Re: Sailor Malan kills
 

The August 11th action involved Erprobungsgruppe 210 and ZG 26 was littered with oveclaiming on both sides... To track down and allocate a particular victory to a certain opponent is well nigh impossible. Believe me, I tried it while researching for my Erprobungsgruppe 210 book.
