Re: ? 5./JG 54, Uffz. Erich Kna:bel, MIA 21.06.1944

Report of Tikhomirov tells absolutely the same: At 10:23 (9:23 G.time) on H=150m two Fw 190 tried to attack Il-2 shturmoviks. T. repulsed their attack and at distance 150-10 meters with an attack angle 2/4 shot down 1 Fw 190. The plane fell 8 km west of Tiurinsaari island.

According his own words (I interviewed him several times during past two weeks), T. saw how the pilot climbed out of the plane after his attack (tall guy, maybe red-haired), opened a parachute and fell to the sea.

You can see the previous version of interview made by another researcher O.Korytov on http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/pilo...tikhomirov.htm
