Re: Death of Hptm. Joachim Kirschner IV./JG 27

Hello Csaba,

Couple of years ago Boris Ciglic posted a detailed description on the "old" board according to which Kirschner was in fact shot down in combat with Thunderbolts of 57th Fighter Group USAAF and his aircraft (Bf 109G-6 WNr. 20618) crashed into a Crnoglav hill while Kirschner himself landed on his parachute between villages Bjelojevici and Donje Hrasno. He was killed by a firing squad from 29. Hrcegovacka Udarna Divizjia.

Hope this helps a little,

Ota
