Re: Meissler's (7./JG52) story and interrogation report

Very nice work, Andrey!

With regards to the 'missing' Ju 87, the explanation could be that the damage to the airframe was considered to be less than 10%, in which case a loss record would not be filed.

It is also interesting to note that some parts of the unit records are missing (or displaced), it just underlines the necessity to be very accurate when one is working on these claims vs losses cases, as vital records may not be available for the exact dates of interest.

Regards,
Andreas B
