Re: Battle of Britain Luftwaffe ace
Hi Jon,
Good question, and I hope someone can give details on these kills. Coincidentally, my uncle claimed a Spitfire on May 29th as well, while leading 4. Staffel, at 1830 hours northwest of Dunkirk. BTW Robert, according to my records the clash with 107's Blenheims resulted in the destruction of 7 Blenheims, with Achleitner leading the first Schwarm and Hauptmann Dr. Ochs leading the second. It was for this action that Achleitner received the EK 1 personally from Kesselring at Desvres.
