Re: Confused names of one or several JG 2 pilot(s)

Thank you for your answers.
I am just surprised that the list seen in Jagdfliegerverbande 10/IV, although I guess an enormous work of M.Prien and his team, we find:
- “New” pilots ever seen before (like Uffz. Wolfgang Galiga or Friedrich Potzler)
- Victories given to others pilot (like Fw.Eisele and Lt.Godt)
What do not reassure me, it’s still small errors, however easy to avoid I think. For example, 2 victories given 14 July 1943 to Obfw Horst Bigge of the 2. /JG2, whereas it is about Obfw. Josef Bigge, however written well for his victory the 15 august 1943.
Another example, the 06 September 1943, 2 victories given to Lt. Fuchs of the 1. /JG2: one is fore-mentioned Kurt and the other is fore-mentioned Karl, but in fact, it’s the same pilot: Lt. Paul Fuchs.
I do not criticize; I find right damage that the reader must still remain careful.
Fredo
