Re: Information concerning loss of Feldwebel Martin Reichherzer - fighter pilot - France 09.11.1942
This is one of those losses that want to make you pull your hair out. It's been reported as WNr. 7008 per the Gen.Qu. losses, WNr. 2429 per Prien and friends, and now WNr. 2149 per Matti. Of these only the WNr. 7008 is duplicated. The WNr. 2429 loss, if an A-3, falls into a group of A-4s. Given the reported sub-type, Matti's info would seem to be the most logical result (and if there was correction from Prien, I haven't found it yet).
