Re: Duplicated claims

Hi Guys

My third of the book mentioned was the actual claims, which were taken largely from the surviving micro films, but fluguchen also, some earlier one also from "claims boards" of units.

There were plenty duplications on the micro films exactly a year apart. These were very difficult to spot unless your looking through an individuals abschüße list. By memory though there were duplications from 1942 to 1943, but 1942 were the correct dates, and for some reason they were duplicated in 1943 with exact matches in all detail except the years. There is only one 1945 claim preserved on the micro films, by memory it was 1st January 1945, but I can't remember the pilot, only that it was a night "kill".

Kind Regards

Johannes

P.S John provided the literature, and Simon Parry the photos, and was the producer.
