Re: JG 53 Victories

Hi Michael,

For the bomber losses on the 11.9.41, how about the possibility that they were likely 452 BAP SBs? Their losses Included crews of Ml.Lt. Gavriil Nikolaevich Kasatkin, Ml.Lt. Lev Ivanovich Baromenskiy, Lt. Aleksandr Georgievich Smirnov all listed MIA and Ml. Lt. Mikhail Gavrilovich Istorkin KIA plus 3 unknown crews...

...as per our previous investigation into JG 52 victories:

I have tried to keep in mind that III/JG 27 claimed several bombers around that time and that Luftwaffe fighter pilots are now kind of famous for absurd misidentifications...

Nick
