Re: Friedrich Obleser vs USAAF

Hi Leo

Have looked at your list. Firstly what you call Nr.47 is a clumsy duplication of 26/03/1943, so you can delete that.
Your Nr.26 I have 0635hrs 7000m
Your Nr.32 I have 1515hrs
Your Nr.34 I have 0846hrs tief
Your Nr.51 I have 800m
Your Nr.55 I have 1500m
Your Nr.60 I have 500m
Your Nr.62 I have 1505hrs
Your Nr.63 I have 3800m
Your Nr.74 I have P-39
Your Nr.82 I have 1353hrs 3000m
Your Nr.91 I have 3800m
Your Nr.94 I have 0553hrs(again no height)
Your Nr.98 I have 1530hrs 2000m
Your 27/06/1944 I have 1940hrs 6000m
Your 22/08/1944 1520hrs I have 2500m
Your 02/09/1944 I have 2500m

We have a big descrepancy from 21/04/1943 until 27/04/1943. Basically the Micro Film for April 1943 is in various degrees of faintness. Each sheet has twenty claims on it, and for this month it is very difficult navigating each sheet. I used a stencil grided out like a Micro film page and filled it in, even then on some pages is was extremely difficult just knowing where on the page you were, however sometimes I was able to work out the unit by the staffel abschusse numbe, and the pilot(especially officers) by rank. Anyway these are mine for him for this period:-
21/04/1943 1057hrs LaGG- 2500m
21/04/1943 1105hrs Il-2
21/04/1943 1106hrs Il-2 tief
24/04/1943 1648hrs P-39 3000m
24/04/1943 1653hrs Il-2 60m
27/04/1943 1603hrs LaGG- 3000m
27/04/1943 1620hrs LaGG-3 3000m
30/04/1943 1450hrs LaGG- 4000m

JG52 were the only unit to use just LaGG-, all other units put down what type of LaGG!

I have worked out about half the crash site from the grid references if your interested....but I would need your e,mail address!

For Oblesers period, there should be nothing missing from the Micro films for this period, therefore you can safely number 1-112. He may have got a few more in November/December 1944, but probably not.

Regards

Johannes
