Re: Lt Georgiy Pavlovich Churakov, 812 IAP, KIA 19 September 1943
On looking at the PlQu. and the times of the three claims it looks more like Hartmann got Churakov from the location. 812 IAP was operating in the area of his claim from looking at the maps in "Dragons with bird wings". Maybe Nikita can give something more precise on the mission time but the other two would be beyond the end time of 15:00 (Moscow) and further north. Hartmann's on looking closer doesn't seem right for the time if it ended a 15:00 (Moscow). Prien's next volume might have something different or someone different.
