Re: JG 77 victories
15 Oct 1941 two Yak-1 of 5 AE 32 IAP ChF took off for air field defense as two Ju 88 approached. As they started their attack on the Ju 88 (thought to be unescorted). They were jumped by Bf 109. The Yak-1 of flight commander Lt. Grigoriy Vasil'evich Filatov was KIA and crashed on the airfield. 4./JG 77 pilots made claims at 08:25 and 08:30 but gave no location. Stab II/JG 77 Hptm Anton Mader shot down a MiG-3 (#23) no location at 08:35 (Berlin) which is the one I believe got Filatov. The same St. Lt. Avdeev from #1 witnessed the time Filatov was shot down and noted the exact time 10:35 (Moscow). Difference in time is daylight savings time for Berlin.
