Re: Any known JG54 claims in Kurland 16.02.45?

Johannes, unfortunately in JG 54 there was filled out claims for Beisswenger on the day that he died for him. Being an admirer of Beisswenger because of his accuracy (no one's score is perfect but his comes close) there was no way that anyone could have witnessed anything reliable in that battle. Even the Soviet pilots were way off in their claims. Found a day in which Nowotny lost his Rotte leader in a dogfight. He filled out 4 claims for himself and two for the dead pilot, all confirmed. Actually no Soviet fighters were shot down. Hahn by his on words was not even visible to his wingman on his last claim but the claim was confirmed.
