Re: Lt. Hermann Kroll and Oblt. Josef Peteani of 7(F)/LG2
One reason why Kroll got the Knights Cross was that he shot down 19 (!) russian aircraft. As a recon pilot flying Bf110 a very unusual success!
Peteani has shot down 9 aircraft and destroyed 13 on ground. Another later Knights Cross holder flew in 7./LG 2 1940-42 as an observer: Helmut Eberspächer.
