Uffz Willi Reins 1./JG 2
 

This pilot has been credited with his second victory on 4 Sep 40 but when and with which unit was his first?

Hello Chris,

in JFV 4/I page 101 (claims of I./JG 2) the first victory is not included. But in JFV 4/II page 439 is a correction/addition:
09.07.40 1./JG 2 Uffz Willi Reins Spitfire (1.) 20.30 südlich Portland B.
