Re: Research info on Ml.Lt.Lynikov
Great info Gabor though 168 GvIAP were equipped with YAK-1's some YAK-7's and possibly a few YAK-3. Do you have the location where the two Yak-11's were shot down ? ( the other 3 were missing NNW of Oradea ) . 168 GvIAP were ending their one month rest in Romania when transfered near Oradea. Yes as into intoxication there were various incidends during my research period 1944 when A-20 pilots , IL-2 pilots and fighter pilots were either shot to death by patrols in the Soviet occupied Romania and other deaths scenarios under intoxication. Some of those were highly decorated Stalingrad , Kursk and Kharkov Battles vet's. In conclussion I opt saying that Vlasow and his 2 wingmen ended up in Yugoslavia instead Oradea due bad WX or a navigational error. All 3 were captured on their class A uniforms and all 3 were executed by SD Frankfurt after an escape attempt later on November '44.
