Re: Info Needed on Me109 G6 W.Nr. 20451

OK, so here is (was) the problem with this loss. Per the Gen.Qu. reports, Uhl was lost in WNr. 20541. (see attachments - I checked the original loss report to be sure it matched)

Per Barbas & Prien, the WNr. was 20451. Usually, as I was entering loss data to my db, unless there was a WNr. conflict, I stuck with the WNr. as reported, in this case for Uhl, WNr. 20541, per the primary source.

But to add to the confusion, both Prien & Barbas recorded the WNr. & code for the machine Wolf flew on 22-Sep as '<<', WNr. 20451, which, now that I go back and review Wolf's FB, appears to be a misreading of Wolf's FB entry for that date. Note that the quote marks for WNr. 20451 stop at 15-Aug-43, and that the next entry for 22-Sep says '<<' with no WNr. is listed.

I think this should resolve the conflict. Would appreciate any comments to this.
