[Kurtl12]

here are the "official" claims of ZG 1 for May 24th, 1944. Further you'll see a screenshot of the honor roll of 14. Fighter group for May 24th, 1944. Indeed two P-38 were lost that day and also the places from the claims roughly agree.

We have two eyewitnesses who saw the fight and subsequent crash of P-38J of 2Lt. Teige. Both report that they have seen a low flying SINGLE engined german fighter pulling up straight into the clouds. During that maneuver he hit the American Lightning. It went into a spin and crashed.

ZG 1 were based at Wels, Austria during these days and were equipped with Bf110G's. Isn't it doubtful that an aircraft like this could do a maneuver as stated above? OR is it thinkable that ZG 1 even used Bf 109 / Fw 190?

OR: is there a possibility that our witnesses have seen Fw. Friedrich Scheer of 8./JG 53 in his Bf 109? The actual crash area is loacted 50 km southwest of Vienna, Austria.
