Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
MODERATOR’ NOTE: In tidying this thread, I merged one post too many. What follows should have appeared as a separate post by H Gabor. Apologies to all concerned.
Folks, just a minor correction to the initial list of this thread. Nikolai Matveevich Knut on October 27, 1944 certainly belonged to 5 VA, 13 GvIAD, 150 GvIAP, NOT to '150 IAP'! Attached pic shows two downed and captured soviet pilots, including him and Kotlyar:
150 GvIAP, Gv.Ml.Lt. Nikolai Matveevich Knut, downed on October 27, 1944 - Yak-3 (S/N: 3929212) - Picture from the April 5, 1945 issue of soviet 5 VA frontline-newspaper, showing his later downed Yak-3 in the background.
149 GvIAP, Gv.Ml.Lt Alexandr Titovich Kotlyar, downed on November 13, 1944 - Yak-1B (S/N: 11186)
