Re: Klaus Bretschneider "Abschusse"
Michel
Don't you have Johannes 4-vol set of Luftwaffe aces?
He lists Bretschneider with 22 confirmed claims and 18 unconfirmed ones.
Luftwaffe did not have shared or probable claims. Only one applicant was allowed and you either submitted a confirmed claim or you didn't submit anything at all. At least that was the general idea!
Looking for confirmed claims by RLM from 1944 and on is risky, since I have no idea what remains, and the Ministereum certainly took its time to verify these claims. The microfilms used by Johannes are the best remaining evidence there is.
Sometimes he is at odds with what others are reading, but remember that reading those films is a very tough job, so mistakes are possible.
Cheers
