Re: January 5,1944 Bordeaux-Merignac mission JG-2 victory claimants
Bonjour Carlos and Johannes,

thanks for your thread, quite interesting.
I can add something: I have several Abshussmeldungen of JG 2 and 1 particular concerns the Jan. 5 1944. This is for Uffz. Heinz Schneider (9./JG 2). It states that he claimed a Thunderbold at 11.08 hours, 5,6 km east of St James and 1,6 km north of St. Georges.
This claim was confirmed by his “Staffelführer”, Ofw. (not as stated Gefreiter) Karl-Heinz Munsche. In his declaration, Munsche also claimed a Thunderbolt.
So, we have at least 2 claims for the 9. Staffel.
This was the second Abschuss for Schneider, the 158 1/2 for 9. Staffel.

I hope that this helps.

Fredo

PS: By the way, I am searching on the claims of JG 2 on Jan. 3 1943. Can you have a look?
