Re: Luftwaffe Procedure Claim in Eastern Front

Dear Juha,

I'd rather agree with Csaba on his answer. The details that Lipfert presented in his memory book (I mean tagebuch) substantially help in identifying possible VVS opponents. In case of his fist victory this could be 99% a La-5 from 437 IAP. Some other cases could be identified as well. I do not see any blatant cases when Lipfert made huge overclaims, but to be honest I have never researched his career on the East precisely.

I just ask this because I liked his memories. And because he seems to have been a rather rebellious spirit.

Regards
