Re: Max Stotz's claims for 19 Feb 1943
Monaco,
I think that Hahn's claiming in Russia and his influence on Stotz lets say led to some bad claims. On the 26 Jan 1943 from 5 LaGG-3 of the 3 GIAP KBF during their dogfight at 14:00 they claimed all five. In reality they shot down one and that could be a joint or one of the claims of Stotz over Lake Ladoga. It was definite that they were trying to reach 100 and 150 in their scores. The Soviets also over claimed in that fight. I would really like to know how many of Hahn's western victories could be matched up.
