JG 76 a/c questions
 

Gentlemen,
I found the following question marks in my loss lists of JG 76 in 1944:

Bf 109 G-14, 413 738: I have two entries, both 11./JG 76:
-lost with Uffz.(?) Günther Kleiber NW Paris on 25.08., coded as ye.13
-lost with Ofw. Schilling near Diez on 05.09., coded as ye.14

Bf 109 G-14, damaged (?) 18.08. w. Fw. Nüser: I have listed Werk Nr. 420 219, which could not be correct.

Bf 109 G-6/U2/AS, lost 13.09. with Gefr. Burkhardt: I have listed Werk Nr.413 813, but the a/c with this particular Serial No. was delivered by Erla in early November 1944! (Thanks to "Rasmussen" for this information.)

Corrections are welcome, thanks in advance.

Hi Heuser,

Werknummer 413813 in fact is 413.815 (G-6 U2/AS)

420.219 and doubles for 413.738 are exactly what WASt reports. All three notes are clearly readably, no doubts, no room or interpretation. :-(

Carl,
thank you very much for your information regarding Gefr. Burkhardt's 109.

413 738: maybe not an a/c loss in France, only a killed pilot? (My list shows 100% damage on 25.08.)

420 219: I've got no idea about the real number, but definitely a typo...
