Re: Soviet claims, 16 June 1943

Just have found the case in question.

08:40 msk 16.Jun.43 a fighter aircraft [from 310.IAD PVO] shot down a Bf109 1 km s.Orekhovo [village 10 km w. r/w station Valuiki]. Hungarian Obfw [name not mentioned] from 5/2 sqn became a POW.
He said his mission was an escort of 2 Ju88 in the raid against Valuiki station [~135 km ENE Kharkov]. The airfield of 5/2 sqn (11 Bf109F) is Kharkov-Osnova.

His unit typing as "512" but it is clearly erroneous typing of "5/2" from the handwritten draft report.

Whether the WNr and board code of his Bf109F are known?

Best regards,
Andrey
