Re: JG 54 near Leningrad in August, 1942
Christer
thanks for the info on Petäjärvi det. and on the Rotte at Utti.
I can add that 1. and 3./LeLv 26 claimed 4 Soviet a/c on 22.10.42 (c. 11.10 – 14.45) during the defence of retreating Oberstlt Siebel’s ferries. And because the ferries themselves had rather powerful AA armament, it would be nice to know if they also made claims.
3 of the lost ferries were lost because they ran aground near Suho/Sukho island during the German attack. IIRC Germans lost 4 ferries and one infantry boat altogether. Personal losses were 18KIA, 57WIA and 4 MIA.
Regards
Juha
