20/7/44=B-17 11h00 S.Leipzig

Hi Michel,

happy New Year too.

VNE/ASM = Vernichtung nicht erwiesen/Anerkennung später möglich.

I think these were (how so many) not acknowledged.

This is also my conclusion.
Why do some count them anyway? as a certain "Abschus" it remains a mystery,hence my question....a few things that may have escaped me?
Also in the abscence of any evidence to the contrary,I count them as unoficial "Abschusse".

ex:Gabler,his score is:10+7 unoficial

Maybe not unofficial, better unconfirmed. He could well have done them. Only they were not acknowledged. It was not uncommon for there to be multiple claims for a "Abschuß". Then usually the lot decided. On the other hand, the confirmations could take a long time. Many shooters were dead by then.
