A Galland mystery – 60 years later not 50
Sorry for my typo: some authors (3-4 of them?) changed Galland's victory list heavily after about 60 years (sixty) not 50. All of them were probably not even borne 1940 (J. Prien certainly not - he was borne decades later) when Galland claimed 3 victories on French fighters on June 3, 1940 not on June 9, of which one Morane was not officially confirmed but French sources do confirm it (which is a significant difference to Mölders' score on the same day - no third claim filed by him).
So Galland told us the same story in no less than five (5) different books, possibly more. I repeat: who are we to "correct" him? He was a very precise and very exacting man.
