Re: 1939 Victories of JGr.152 ( I./ZG 52 )

Thank you Larry.
Is there any confirming document or other source giving 9 (10 with the balloon) victories for September 1939, as estimated (?) in Jagdfliegerverbände?
I am missing such a note about the "estimation of aerial victories and names" in the mentioned book.

For 9.9. the victories were surely not confirmed. And I suppose the names are not given correctly, just estimated (see C.Shores - Fledgling Eagles, p. 57-58). The pilots couldn`t report about Fairey Battle bombers.

The 24.9. is very interesting and I am asking you how Lt.Rosenkranz could report about 2 victories when he was shot down at the same time over enemy territory and taken to a French prison camp.

Is there any source giving the missions flown (with hours) for the 24.9. ?

Regards,
