Mirek,
What's your take on Karl-Gottfried Nordmann's claim on the 22Jun41 10:10 W of Kobryn of an I-153. Christer Bergstroem believes it was deputy AE co. Lt. Petr Sergeevich Ryabtsev of the 123 IAP who bailed out.

I do not belive in most information given in both Bergstroem book's about Barbarossa. Both have plany of false and wrong information, wrong data etc.
Probably, Nordmann's victims was major Surin, the commander of 123. IAP, which was killed during landing about 11.00 or little later after Moscow's time. It could better fit to this claims. Surin had died in his I-153 during landing.
Ryabtsev had done a taran over Brześć a few hours earlier, had made a jump over the town, survived it and later returned to the unit, if right rember.
