Luftwaffe aces in Crimea

I would like to point to excellent articles written by my friend Ivan Lavrinenko about Luftwaffe aces in Crimea. The level of Ivan's research is amazing. Although the articles are in Russian, I hope that with google translate most of you will be able to understand the essence

Duettmann's claims on 17.03.44: Antipov and Utkin seem to indicate that these were Ml.Lts. Yuriy Vasilyevich Davydov in 39132/"39" and Aleksander Vasilyevich Razumovich in "37" of 812 IAP

Re: Luftwaffe aces in Crimea

27.10.1944, Oblt. Otto Kittel claimed Il-2 as his 250th victory. It is 100% confirmed by soviet records. Il-2 Zav.Nom.6060, "White 1", of 947 shap, crew - Ml.l-t Gusenkov, gunner - Ivanov, were killed.
