Hans-Jürgen Heppe JG 2

Hello,

According to most lists Hans-Jürgen Hepe claimed 1 victory in Spain flying the He 51B and 8 victories in WWII while flying with the JG 2. However when looking through various lists (including Tony Woods invaluable ones), I find a total of 14 victories credited to him. Thus this is the correct number credited to him or there are a couple of errors in these lists (probable, shared, typos etc.). Are there any JG 2 experts out there that can help me (btw. I have Mombeeck's and Roba's excellent “In the skies of France”, which confirms the two first in WWII)?
