Re: Klaus Bretschneider "Abschusse"

Hi Stig

No,I don't have the book of Johannes,but he doesn't seem to find 34 too.
I know that the luftwaffe did not approve of "abschuss "shared but on 07/19/44,Bretschneider an Zwelken were approved the same P-38:claim same hour,same place:11.35 15 km Bad Aibling 5 500m...but a single loss:Lt Van Gelder of 14° FG,also the "abschuss" should have been approved to one or the other but not both.

I studied the VNE ASM,and often by comparing the allied losses and the official homologations,it's normal that the RLM classified them with a doubt.
We have no proof that the VNE ASM have been subsequently approved (often rightly because no material evidence among others,was found,hence the uncertainty and classification in VNE ASM,so (for me) a VNE ASM stay a probable until proven otherwise.

That only involved me of course.

Best Regards
Michel
