Re: German overclaims in the East. Hartmann and others...
I see in german claims:
4.1.45/1112 II/JG 52 Hptm. Helmut Lipfert La-5FN Russian 172nd/203 Tardos
4.1.45 6/JG 52 Lt. Heinz Ewald La-5FN Russian /85
4.1.45 1/JG 53 Maj. Juergen Harder La-5FN Russian 65th/(?) Budapest
4,1.45 St./JG 52 Maj Gerhard Barkhorn La-5 _____ _____ E N 297
4,1.45 St./JG 52 Maj Gerhard Barkhorn La-5 _____ _____ E N 298
4,1.45 St./JG 52 Maj Gerhard Barkhorn La-5 _____ _____ E N 299
seems Overclaim, many claims for 4 losses?
About yaks:
II/JG 52 Maj. Gerhard Barkhorn Yak-9
II/JG 52 Hptm. Helmut Lipfert Yak-9 Bieske
3 yak9 losses in total, for 2 claims?
you can link some of these or Hungarian claims,
were german and Hungarian claims all in the same region and hour?
regards
