Re: German overclaims in the East. Hartmann and others...
Hello Andrey
the reason was that orders had came from Oslo or Berlin that units up North had to try to spare their planes and low level attacks against trains on the Murmansk raiway were banned. The local commanders thought that those low level attacks were effective and decided to continue them and the 110 was hit during a low level attack against a train. So to hide their disobeyance the pilot was ordered to lie the reason for the loss by his CO.
