Christian,

May I ask you if Steinhoff's Flugbuch for the period July 1942 - February 1943 survived and available somewhere?

Christian,

Can you tell us the types of aircraft claimed on 29.9.44?

Re: Johannes Steinhoff victories
 

Steinhoff made no claim for 29th September 1945, after the four unconfirmed he next claims:-

27th February 1945 2 X Jak-9 Nr.163-164 Stab./Jg7
20th March 1945 Il-2 Nr.165 Stab./Jg7
3rd April 1945 B-17 Nr.166 Jv44
5th April 1945 P-51 Nr.167 Jv44
9th April 1945 P-51 Nr.168 Jv44

Steinhoff had his fair amount of unconfirmed, apart from those for September 1944 they were:-

2nd July 1941 DB-3
9th July 1941 Pe-2
19th Mai 1942 Il-2 at 0840 hrs
22nd May 1942 MiG-1
25th February 1944 B-17
14th July 1944 B-25
25th August 1944 P-38 at 1000 hrs

He once shot down a Russian fighter, the pilot baled-out, he submitted his claim form stating that he didn't actually see the aircraft crash, they wrote back asking why you should think that they would uphold a claim when you admit you didn;t see it crash, Steinhoff wrote back "I just assumed that a pilotless aircraft didn't fly it's self back to base and land safely".....they replied "Unconfirmed" !!

Regards

Johannes
