No John, he didn't hit the "zero" twice he mixed up the "5" with the "4" on the typewriter (his fingers were to fast :-)). The 15 0xx - batch were G - 4 trop and not G - 6.

Like I wrote in November/December the II./ JG 53 lost some G - 6 from the 140 0xx - batch ... for example the 140 084 (02.11.43 in the east of Wiener Neustadt) or the 140 088 (30.01.44 near Udine). So the two "zeros" would be correct.

Best wishes
