Hans-Joachim Kroschinski (WIA 21/12/44) was an Oberfeldwebel...his own account of his shoot-down is in Lorant's Fw 190 volume.. he reported having waded into a large formation of Pe-2s that morning (21/12) with his Schwarm, downed five of them (his 71-76 kills) and took a burst of fire from a sixth, a bullet going through his calf and his machine bursting into flames..he bailed out with 2nd & 3rd degree burns... He was promoted to Leutnant and awarded the RK on 17 April 45 while still recuperating in hospital...
