Re: Boston and P-38's claimed on 21st November 1943
Alex
I have now looked in Prien's initial effort (American translation - Schiffer) JG 53 Vol 2 and there are no mentioning in the text of any combat on Nov 21st. In Vol 3 (appendices) he states for Nov 21st
1./JG 53 Uffz Dreyer P-38 13.11H
2./JG 53 Obfw Kornatz P-38
1./JG 53 Uffz Burggraf P-38 (The date of this victory is not verified)
The book was copyrighted in 1998 while the new info from Verbanden Vol 11/II quoted above was published in 2011.
At one point Prien must have located further evidence to exclude Burggraf from the list and adding Ohletz.
At no stage has Prien had Willy Unger or Schmidtz listed in his books.
I believe he is much aware of Woods pages and also the films he quotes.
Have no explanation why they differ of course.
Cheers
Stig
