Re: R-3?

I found my mistake in reading the article again. Akulichev returned to his unit on the 09 Nov 1941. The bomber was actually shot down on the 06 Nov 1941. That leaves three possible victors in this dogfight. 6./JG 51 Fw. Richard Quante DB-3 (16) 10:05, 6./JG 51 Fw. Walter Kabis DB-3 (2) 10:10 and 5./JG 51 Lt. Hans Strelow DB-3 (22) 10:13 but all have no location for their claims. Also there is no mention of any other losses so it is not possible to tell if this was an isolated claim or more then one loss to this group. Thanks to all for the help.
