Yes Oleg,
No disrespect but there is another claim for this one:
"With high probability the aircraft Harms been attacked over the settlement Dorokhovo. Kukharenko brother-soldiers - part of Captain KN Tityankova (led by Lt. VD Lapochkin and ml. Lt. VV Bokach); German machine fell down at the Rusa."
But, the German version is that Harms was brought down by anti-aircraft fire over Dorogobuzh while
inbound towards Moscow on the evening of 21 July 1941. (John Weal:
He 111 Kampfgeschwader on the Russian Front. Page 18)
I can not claim which version of the story is correct, but I would still like to identify the aircraft in the loss lists by it's Wrk Nr. and call sign.
I thank you
