Loss of a Spitfire over Balkans on 2 June 1944
According to Tony Wood's claim files, at 17.42 on 2 June 1944 Ofw. Bergmann of 5./JG 51 reported a claim over an Spitfire in a section QK 4-7. According to Hptm. Rammelt's Flugbuch, II./JG 51 was based at Niš in Serbia at the time, but parts of the unit might have been active over Greece and Bulgaria as well. There was a loss of 253 Sqn Spitfire near Split on Dalmatian coast, but as far as I know it was due to mechanical failure. Were there any other Spitfire losses, or at least clashes reported with Bf 109's, in the area.
Cheerss,
Boris
