Re: Uffz. Max Stotz I./JG 76 on 7.11.1939
A time for the claim filed by Uffz Max STOTZ of 3./JG76 on 7 November 1939 would be useful in helping to determine events. But, unfortunately, we do not have it which is largely why I was unable to positively resolve his claim when researching BoFrT&N. Certainly, GR I/33 lost two Potez 637s to Bf109s west of Saarbrucken between 15.05 - 16.14 hours (CET) that afternoon no less than five claims being filed by pilots of 7. and 9./JG53. A further French Potez 63 of GR II/22 was also badly damaged by Bf109s in the same general area and may also have been involved but, again, without a specific time for this incident one cannot be totally certain. As his claim is in the same locality, it is equally possible that STOTZ may also have been involved ?
