Hi Guys

His first eleven claims were all in the West between 17th May 1940 and 12th April 1942 before he moves onto 1./JG 5 for a year. Mentioned were you say six Soviet aircraft, but though not sure I think that this unit only maid claims over Western aircraft! Unfortunately the micro films daily entries for 1./JG 5 do not start until later in 1943, so he may very well have made claims with 1./Jg5. After that he confirmed just seven with JG3 including three heavy bombers. A total of forty-six is probably based on the points system, he got at least eighteen.

Regards
