Re: 10./JG-27 Pilot Loss - Any Allied Claims?
On 22 December 1943 Fl.Fü. Kroatien engaged a pair of Bf 109G's for armed recce and fighter protection, and eight other Bf 109G's were engaged as fighter protection in the operation "Herbstgewitter II". During these sorties two aircraft were shot down by friendly fire, one by the Kriegsmarine flak and another by Wehrmacht. Uffz. Koderer probably fell to marine gunners, as he went missing near the island of Korčula. The other plane lost that day was probably W.Nr.20682 of NAGr.12, which was reported to have belly-landed north of Mirci (possibly Mirke near Jablanica in Herzegovina) and had to be written off (80% damage).
