Re: II./JG 52 vs 15th US Air Force, 20 Mar 1945

Hi Don,

I've attempted to attach scans of the 3 relevant pages (around 140KB each), but I get an "Unable to move/copy file" error each time. Please send me your email address via PM, and I'll mail them to you.


After reading it again, Düttmann's statement on page 194:
"...habe ich gemerkt, dass das in meinem Flug- und Leistungsbuch genau falsch herum eingetragen ist: Die Mustang war am 18. und die Jak zwei Tage später!"
is ambiguous -- is he referring to the log book entry as it was written or as it should have been written?
