Re: Abschussmeldung Question.

Fighters are not my field of interest, but it has always been my understanding - right or wrong - that Hans Ring was able to assemble and maintain a majority of the Abschußmeldungen that survived the war. He did this through the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's and at that time was the primary source for this information. Subsequently, Dr. Jochen Prien worked with Ring and gradually became the foremost authority on Abschußmeldungen, their composition and how to authenticate them. This isn't giving you an answer, but I hope it may fill in some background and point you in the right direction. Dr. Prien is a frequent visitor here.
