Werner Methfessel claims 1939

Hello,
can anybody help with the Morane shot down by Olt. Methfessel on 23.11.1939 in the Verdun area ?
What is the source of this detailed info ?

Also any idea of Methfessel`s claims numbers 2 and 3 between 3.9.-6.9.1939 ?

Best regards,

Jim P.

Re: Werner Methfessel claims 1939

Primary source I have is from Peter Taghon's "LG 1, Vol.1" history. Dates are for 4 & 5-Sep-39. Both claims are for PZL P.24s.

As for the Morane on 23-Nov-39, sources are Mr. Taghon's "LG 1, Vol.1" and Chris Shores & friends "Fledgling Eagles". I believe Mr. Shores book was published prior to Mr. Taghon's.

Re: Werner Methfessel claims 1939

The story with Methfessel`s combat on 23.11.1939 was published for the first time by C.Shores (?) and repeated several times by many authors. I suppose it is coming from Heinrich Weiss` manuscript. But what is the source ?

As I know Methfessel wrote during the war a lillte bit for the Propagandaabteilung. Maybe something was published in "Der Adler" or whatever similar ??
