Re: JG 52 victories
26 May 1943 18:16 - 19:10 (Moscow)
8 Pe-2 from the 205 BAP under escort of 6 Yak-7B from the 43 IAP bombed the SW outskirts of Russkoe. The Pe-2s received AAA fire from Moldavanskoe, Russkoe, Verkhniy Desser. Pe-2 (# 16/123) was hit in the left engine and left formation. Two Bf 109 struck during this time. The Soviets reported the Pe-2 flown by St. Serzhant Aleksey Grigor'evich Shmakov shot down by flak. Shmakov ended up a POW and his two crew men KIA. Also shot down was the Yak-7B 43 IAP flown by Lt. Nikolay Filippovich Zayats who survived (Later MIA 29 Sep 1943).
Now JG 52's side.
Maj. Herbertus von Bonin Stab III/JG 52
LaGG-3 (61) 17:43 PlQu. 34 Ost/85142 SE Krymskaya
LaGG-3 (62) 17:45 PlQu. 34 Ost/75264 SW Krymskaya
Lt. Berthold Korts Stab III/JG 52
Pe-2 (37) 17:43 PlQu. 34 Ost/75292
Pe-2 (38 in Prien's JFV 12/II it was numbered 37 again) 17:45 34 Ost/85143 SSE Krymskaya
Pe-2 (39) 17:48 34 Ost/85141 SE Krymskaya
So Korts possibly one Pe-2 of three.
Okay, for those looking at 13.(Slow)/JG 52 for this time period it appears their battle was to the north of Krymskaya and nearly at the end of the 205 BAP's mission time.
Obfw. Pavol Zelenak 13./JG 52 Pe-2 (9) [But if your looking at Tony Wood's list instead of Prien's JFV 12/II it has "LaGG-3"] 18:05 34 Ost/76892 N. Krymskaya
Fw. Jan Reznak 13./JG 52 Pe-2 (29) 18:10 34 Ost/86772 S. "Trojzkaja"
