Wink Re: German WW 2 aviation site

Hi Spanferkel,

"Ich verstehe voll und ganz". What I write must be understood as a remark, nothing more. The complexity of your task is obvious. I took aimlessly three JG 300 pilots, what enabled me to note your uncertainty margin:
- Fw. Herbert Chantelau: the night claims you quoted with JG 301 and 302 are in fact with III./JG 300, 9. Staffel, at the given dates (22 and 23 september 1943). The night claim of july 30, 1943, with III./JG Herrmann over Hamburg is missing.
- Uffz. Harald Lövenich and Fw. Friedel Merten of 6./JG 300: I found no claims for both of them in your list.
I have not checked more names... Anyway, I appreciate the way in which you organized your new website and I am sure you will do your best to improve it. I don't wish to blame you for these lacks and I wish you good luck...
Willi Reschke's book is unfortunately not the reference for the early Wilde Sau claims.

Weiterhin Hals und Beinbruch !
