II./JG 54 on the 16 May 1943
I have a question reference a loss for this day. In Prien's JFV 12/III it has Uffz. Alfons Kriebus of 5./JG 54 flying Bf 109 G-2 (# 10 358) on the 16 May 1943. It states that at 10:25 his fighter is hit by flak near Tichwin (I assume that this is Tikhvin), his fighter goes down resulting in 100% damage. Uffz. Kriebus is not reported as KIA or POW. If this was Tikhvin it was far behind the front line. What was he doing there? How did he get back to his unit.
