Hi Guys

I am surprised that I cannot workout how Batz and Hartmann did this over-claiming. No link such as Hahn/Stotz and Nowotny/Schnorrer/Dobele using somebody from a staffel whilst Kommandeur.

With Batz his earlier claims with stab.II./JG52 are quite odd, I thought many should be legitimate because he used ground-witnesses, but the offers are very likely to have been in the company of Heinrich Sturm, yet despite this they seem to be A.S.M or O.Z-A.S.M claims, I am even more convinced these are all legitimate claims. As for the offers the pattern of claiming is very suspect, I just can't find how he worked it.

So unlike the Kommandeur of JG54 those with JG52 on the fiddle must have used another form of inducement of unknown to myself to work their scams.

I would suggest that the researchers in the matter are not having the complete Russian losses before them, but if this is the case, why do they suggest others were honest?
I guess there must be another answer.....but what?

Kind Regards

Johannes
