Re: Kurt Hammel,Gunther Scholz of JG5

Hi Guys

I'll look into that of 6th February 1942......it is the one not on the micro films, but pre micro film. Not listed in Ingo Mobius's book on Scholz. That for 5th March(not February) 1943 should have been on the micro films, not was not. However Scholz himself was very specific about it an Il-2 over his airfield at 1200 hrs, should have been witnessed by ground staff if lacking an air witness, but seems to remain unconfirmed.
Ingo says he didn't work from a flugbuch, probably took abschüße list from Prien publication, or has micro films himself, but if he did he'll have had the JG 5 claims which he generally doesn't.
So I think the 6th February 1942 claim is bogus, but the 5th March 1943 is genuine, but unconfirmed. There is also a claim for 28th April 1942 in the book, but I believe it's confused this that of 24th March 1943. The details of this last one are vague in the book.
Book also quotes that Scholz was told that ALL documents for Wehrmacht forces in Norway were to be destroyed in 1945!

Kind Regards

Johannes
