Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)

Hello, I want to specify
- "magazine Герои Неба Военнфя Археология" - it's magazine "Military archeology", topic "Heroes of the Sky"
- LaGG-3 of M.I.Korotaev it was found in the winter of 2013 at a depth of 5 meters to the south of a square 35ost 46262 (northern part 46264)
- LaGG-3 of M.G.Kuz'kin it was found in the 1990th years (it is finally investigated in the summer of 2012) to the southwest a square 35ost 56121 (northeast part 56142). The remains of the Navigator 523 IAP 234 IAD were buried with military honors in December, 2013 (the pilot's relatives within two years didn't manage to be found)

Also I will add:
07.08.42 Ltn. Ernst Weismann 12./JG 51 MiG-3 - 56 154: at 300 m. 14.35
For 90% it's loss: Yak-1 (#5083) 32 IAP 201 IAD of Colonel Leonid Grigoryevich Kuldin, Deputy Commander 1VA.
The plane is found near the village of Titovka (southeast part 56142), the pilot jumped out with a parachute, but died, he is buried in Moscow with military honors.

13.08.42 Ltn. Ernst Weismann 12./JG 51 (69, Rk) MiA after air combat with fighters: 9 km to the north (according to other data to the northeast) Rzhev - Bf-109F-2 WNr.5496 Braune 12 +
It most likely a victory of the captain Pyotr Sergeyevich Ovcharov, the commander of the first squadron 157 IAP (on Hurricanes) 256 IAD 3 VA
This day (morning) the group of four Hurricanes to the northeast of Rzhev was attacked twice by single Bf-109. After that the commander of group attacked and shot down his in 8 km to the north Rzhev, the pilot of Bf-109 went down on a parachute. Its destiny isn't known - "He is not captured".
In the "Bote von der Ybbs" newspaper (Austria) of September, 1942 it is also told that Weismann's plane was shot down in fight with the Soviet fighters and the pilot jumped out with a parachute.

Best regards,
Kirill
