Re: Siegfried Freytag's 1./JG-77- Shot down over Malta
Dear Andreas,
please forgive me if I have to object to your assumption that the loss return of July 27th, 1942, may have referred to the incident involving Siegfried Freytag that we are discussing here. As we can see from both the GQM loss report and your loss entry the a/c of 3./JG 77 that was damaged in a dog fight with Spitfires over La Valetta on July 27th made it back to Comiso where it crashed in an emergency landing. So - no parachuting into the Mediterrennean close to La Valetta and no being resued by a German SAR plane.
The matter of the fact is that so far we have no clue as to when and where this incident might have taken place. And again - I'm not saying that it couldn't have happened, it's just that we do not have any loss return that would match.
Regards
Jochen
