Re: Luftwaffe Aces -- Biographies and Victory Claims

Very interesting. The first bio, that of Lt. Hans Adam, immediately caught my attention. If he was shot down and killed south of Styding (Denmark, not Germany?) by P-51s, my guess is that he fell prey to pilots of 505th FS / 339th FG who escorted heavies to Swinemunde on that day (12th March 1945) and claimed several Bf 109s. They were the only USAAF pilots in the ETO to claim any victories on that day - unless Adam was knocked down by RAF Mustangs.
