Hi Tim,

There you stand 100% correct!

I have two groups to bomber crew members who never got the Pokal, although flying over 150 missions. Without more information on Sielmann I would say he also must have flown at least 150 missions before getting his Pokal (assuming he was of a bomber crew). On the Eastfront this number could be flowns within one year. Which could mean none of his missions were against the West.

Kind regards, Thomas
