Re: 7.07.41 and claims/victories of JG 54?

Mirek, I went back and found the description for Touminen for the 30 Jul 1941 08:35-09:20 over Aunus, he was flying Fiat G.50. "I flew towards Vitele and Tuulos, flying away 1000 metres higher towards the sun. I caught the planes about 10 km east of Tuulos. There was no gunner in the wing aircraft and I shot a burst straight over the rudder, when it pulled straight up and went into a spin. I shot two burst to the gunner of the other and after that from above a burst to the back of the pilot and the same followed as with the first aircraft. The armour piercing bullets appeared to go well through the pilot's armour plate. Combat altitude 4,200 m. My plane was FA-26". Below this description it had credited as probable as there was no witnesses. The other kills had some Soviet unit listed but I think that they were looking for main stream KA VVS units and no one thought about checking a NKVD border unit. These are listed with the list on Finnish war victories on another website.
