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

Hi Remi --

II./JG 52 combats on 20 March (1945) are what I am interested in. Can you give me more details on the 2 KIA and 1 WIA?

I've decided that Düttmann's changing his 20 Mar combat to 18 Mar is a "prompted memory" because his buddy's claim for the 18th is bolstered by his victim's documents. But 20 Mar matches Düttmann's FB entry better; it's just that his P-51 claim, which wasn't filed (for good reason) doesn't match a USAAF loss. However, the bombers definitely encountered LW fighters, which I haven't otherwise been able to identify.

Thanks for all your help.

Don
