Re: Max Stotz
According to Prien Bock, II./JG 54 claimed seven victories in the late afternoon of 7 April 1941, all south of Neusatz:
_ Uffz Walter Pircharn of 6./JG 54 a Bf 109 E at 1745 hrs (1st victory)
_ Lt Hans Beisswenger of 6./JG 54 a Hurricane at 1750 hrs (1st victory)
_ Uffz Josef Amberger of 6./JG 54 a Bf 109 E at 1750 hrs (1st victory)
_ Oblt Hans Philipp of 4./JG 54 two Bf 109E at 1755 and 1803 hrs (24th and 25th victories)
_ Lt Horst Wolter of 4./JG 54 a Bf 109 E at 1755 hrs (1st victory)
_ Oblt Carl Sattig of 4./JG 54 a Fi 156 at 1800 hrs (1st victory)
Shores and co book was released before the Luftwaffe claim lists later used by Tony Wood, and then Prien, were available. My guess is that the claim that was identified in this book as one by Stoltz is the one made by Lt Wolter.
Prien's study is for me the most up to date available.
