Re: JG54 losses, 7.3.43, South of Staraya Russa
Dear Jevgeny,
in our records there are no losses of JG 54 on March 7th, 1943; Uffz. Adolf Kuzel was definitely not shot down and captured on that day as he filed a claim on July 20th, 1943.
As for the number of German claims - I have 1 for Stab/JG 54 ( Il 2 ), 30 for I./JG 54 (16 Il 2), 13 for II./JG 54 ( 4 Il 2 ), 9 for I./JG 26 ( 5 Il 2 ) and 4 for 7./JG 26 ( 2 Il 2 ). For details wait for JFV 12/III.
There are only two Fw 190s listed as damaged on this date - an a/c of I./JG 26 was damaged in a landing accident and an a/c of 7./JG 26 had to b/l owing to battle damage, damage assessed as only 10 %. No JG 54 or 26 pilot being reported lost on that date.
Regards
Jochen Prien
