Hello,
working (and finishing) on the volume 3 of the JG 2's chronicle, I came across this old thread and wanted to add something: I found the attached photo by a 8./JG 2 veteran. This was captioned this way (translated from German):
60 km westl. Brest, 2 Tommies rescued. The tall one, a Canadian (Lt.), and the little coming from London (Uffz.) June 1942. engl. Bomber shot down by our Staffel.
These POW pilots seem to match: F/O Laidlaw R.G.N. RCAF (POW)J/5319 ---P/O Tyson A.P.(POW)123994---
But I can't find any claim by 8./JG 2 on that day in the files. Nevertheless, that would'nt be the first time that a claim was done (maybe reported) but not officially registered (that changes a bit from the often discussed overclaiming... ) .
Does anybody have a portrait of these guys to compare?
Regards
