Hi Don,

effectively when checking victory list on Luftwaffe.cz we can see that Rüffler got his first "heavy" with 52th victory, like did Dahl !!
But on the picture we can count 52 before the first heavy, that one being the 53rd on the rudder; no one (list) matches..... except if we add that Hurricane which wasn't credited (and not counted in lw.cz list) to Dahl credit.
In Michael Holm site we can verify that both II and III./JG3 got G-5s at that time.
Last, our friend Maciej said that a similar picture is on P.40 of "luftwaffe rudder markings"...
Since I haven't the said picture under my nose I just have to believe it until further notice. (or scan, would be better!)

You may be right Don, I don't have the possibility to dig deeper with what I have. But I keep my guess for the moment until new comments.

Regards and thank you for this comment. Franck.
