Re: Iro Ilk
Hi Maria
Seems he attained his DKiG and Ritterkreuz for duties other than that of a fighter-pilot. Most of his actual claims were not immediately confirmed, probably because "wildsau" pilots by their method of attack(at night) usually lacked witnesses, but his claims are as follows, the first as a Leutnant with 1./LG1, all others as a Hauptmann with III./JG300.
