Re: Lost Fw 190 with numbers in soviet record

The German loss report was not issued on the day of loss,just only a day or so later, when it was verified that the missing aircraft failed to return to own lines, and did not land eg.on another airfield. Hence there were plenty of occassions to make an error. I guess that it may originate from the original report of SG 10, for some reason misdtated, and then repeated in summary losses. The one should verify that with original records of SG 10 like mission record, but I guess those do not exist.
