Hi Gabor

Agreed, the claim for 8th May 1945 should be easily investigated due to the location be so specific.

However where does this claim come from, Toliver/Constable, this books portrayal of Hartmann is riddled with inaccurate tales, like four Il-2's being bought down due to one shot, all those Mustangs, so much detail was put into it. So did Hartmann tale these tales, or did the authors make it up? We do know that Hartmann made-up official tales if his claims are anything to go by.

I acquired a flugbuch of a pilot taken prisoner during 1940, I had him down with a few "kills" but his flugbuch showed about another ten, unconfirmed? not so.they look like they were added in later i.e this pilot(has motive) or somebody else who had acquired the flugbuch added them in !......strange World isn't it.

All the best
