Hello again,


meanwhile I read the interesting book "Alarmstart, the German Fighter Pilot's Experience in the Second World War" by Patrick G. Eriksson.
Here Feldwebel Felix Sauer (JG 104) tells his story of the event. So I believe he is the pilot I was looking for, because his words match the text mentioned in the quoted diary.
Sauer, formerly 10/JG 53, was promoted to Leutnant by the end of the war.



Regards


Daniel
