Re: Siegfried Freytag's 1./JG-77- Shot down over Malta
Dear Andreas, dear John,
I still don't buy that this should be Siegrfied Freytag because a) it is 3rd Staffel a/c instead of 1st Staffel, and b) because it made a Notlandung = emergency landing as opposed to a crash into the sea. And I know of numerous loss reports that give the damage after a Notlandung with 100%. In this respect it is intersting to note that the GQM returns report the damage as 100% much more often that the WASt. returns, where damage degrees of 98 or 99% are quite frequent ( in those units which cared to fill this in the form at all ).
Still, I think for the time being we should leave it as it is and see whether some day we can find additional information as for instance from the Seenotdienst reports.
Kind regards
Jochen Prien
