Re: Fw-190 shot down on 19th of September 1943 over Belgium

Hello Keith,

I have quoted the documented German losses in Western Europe which are contradictory to the Alliied informations.

You are right:

German losses on September 19, 1943 after encounters with Spitfires

1 Bf 109 G-6 of JG 26 at noon
3 Bf 109 G-6 of JG 2 in the afternoon.

German losses on September 22, 1943 (all of JG 2)

1 Bf 109 G-3 and 2 Fw 190 A-6 on the ground during the Marauder raid
1 Bf 109 G-6 and 1 Fw 190 A-6 shot down by Spitfires during the withdrawal.

I am not able to assess the correctness of the British claims according to the Tony Wood list “RAF & US Fighter Commands with annotated text. Issue I
1943”

Kind regards
Leo
