Hi,
On 13 October 1943 Maximow took off at 11:00 for a sweep to Naples. He fought a combat with three Spitfires, and had to bail out from an altitude of 300 metres. He survived (albeit with a broken arm) and flew until at least June 1944. Hänsel and Stammwitz were also lost in this combat.
No. 93 Squadron made the only claims for the day, and the time and location match the III./J.G. 77 combat.
Cheers,
Andrew A.
