Hptm. Aloй also had lost contact to his wingman Fw. Huss in an earlier skirmish before he began his last combat with Soviet fighters.

This is indeed a good question, but i'm afraid beyond my expertize. Sorry. From T: He saw no difference between germans and finns... Besides, I can not say anything about K combat experience. I know only that his total claim list consists of 3 aircraft, including Il in this fight. I do not know how many combat missions he flew befor that... I also do not know how experienced was his wingman...
