Re: 1939 Victories for JG 53

Hello,
thanks for the info. I think I will get headache with the 24th and 25th.
According to documents (Lageberichte for example) II./JG 53 achieved on the 24th 3 victories (all Curtiss) at appr. 15.30 hours in the area of Bitsch.
On the 25th II./JG 53 claimed 2 victories (in both cases Curtiss) south of Bienwald.

In "Chronik des JG 53" and "Jagdfliegerverbände" we have it the other way round: 2 claims on the 24th and 3 on the 25th. (?)
Therefore my question if Czikowsky`s claim could be wrong on the 25th. Could he have achieved 2 claims on the 24th maybe ?

What official RLM claims records have you used? Eventually a signature of the document could help.

Many thanks in forward and best regards,
Marius
