Re: Siegfried Freytag's 1./JG-77- Shot down over Malta
This is a simple typo from my part - the pilot whose a/c crashed into the sea on July 25th, 1942 was Obfw. Kurt Görbing of 2./JG 77 as is evidenced by the diary of Uffz. Horst Schlick. So please correct the text on page 273 to a pilot of 2nd Staffel, who ... Please note also that the pilot did not come down by parachute but had to ditch his a/c and - according to Schlick's diary - was able to swim to the shore as was already shown in JG 77 Vol. 3, page 1249.
These - typing - errors are seemingly inevitable even though three and some times four different people are proof reading on our side. I apologize for this but cannot promise that it won't happen again. I'm always grateful for any correction or hint at discrepancies that have been overseen on our side.
