Re: Erich Hartmann - several questions

I haven't heard anything bad about Obstlt Hannes Trauloft's record of the Stab/JG54. I was able to find possible matches for three of his claims on the 14 Feb43 14:10-14:30 for three Il-2's. In Ilya G. Prokofev's book "Soviet Aviation In Combat Above Krasnyy Bor and Smerdynya Februray -March 1943" (In Russian). During the Smerdynya offensive Il-2 (#4037) Ml. Lt. Zalya Akmalovich Akmalov, Il-2 (#1194) Ml. Lt. Vladimir Ivanovich Trenev and Il-2(#5605) Ml. Lt. Anatoliy Nikolaevich Kuzovkin and gunner Kapt. Vladimir Ivanovich Sarychev all went MIA in the area and time of the Trauloft's claims. Their unit was the 230 ShAP.
