Re: Hans Hahn
27 Sep 1941 Circus 103A Ameins motor yard
I looked at the losses for this raid and in the accessment it states there were four losses but I only saw three listed.
RAF losses
Escort-Support Wing
129 Sqn Spitfire Sgt. Ross (POW) Pas-de-Calais
616 Sqn Spitfire P/O R.G. Sutherland (KIA) Gamaches/Somme
High Cover Wing
308 Sqn Spitfire Sgt E. Watolski (POW)
one unknown
German claims
Hptm Karl-Heinz Greisert Stab II/JG 2 Spitfire 15:30 Le Touquet
Fw Horst-Benno Krüger Stab II/JG 2 Spitfire 15:30
Hptm Hans Hahn Stab III/JG 2 Spitfire 15:35
Lt Erich Rudorffer 6/JG 2 Spitfire 15:40
Lt Jakob Augustin 8/JG 2 Spitfire 15:55
Obfw Rudolf Krull 7/JG 2 Spifire 16:43 (after the raid was over)
So five pilots claiming five (three known as of this post but possibly four) isn't bad. Strange the timing of the Stab II claims. To be fair for two battle damaged forced landings by JG 2 the RAF claimed for Circus 103A seven Bf 109 shot down, two damaged and three proables so not all one sided in these exchanges.
