Re: Lost Fw 190 with numbers in soviet record

I do not know. Soviet report was written on January 3, 1945, while serial numbers of the downed German plane became 'accessible' to the soviets by January 1, 1945 - so theoretically it had to be down by that day. I assume on the 3rd the soviet clerks still knew if it happened 'yesterday', or the day before. Perhaps German record was filed later wrongly for January 2nd? I have no idea... but it's not a big deal. The hour is clear: 13:00 PM right at, or after lunch, so it was not an 'uncertain', night loss, that's for sure.
