Re: Siegfried Freytag ditching July 27,1942

Not corroboration, but the only "likely suspect" I have is Bf 109F4 WNr.13040 of the 3./JG 77, "Notlandung nach Luftkampf" with Spitfire over La Valetta. 100% loss. The location is given as Comiso. The other losses for JG 77 on this date are other named pilots, or (non-named) taxiing accidents.

It seems the Gen.Qu.6.Abt. have omissions in the Mediterranean. We've come across other (100%) losses where we have names, dates and sometimes photographs, yet apparently nothing made it into the Gen.Qu.6.Abt. records.
