Hi Michael,
I have noticed that sources including Haupt, Hannig and Bergström talk about heavy aerial combat over Courland on 14 February 1945, and Kurowski and Weal state that Otto Kittel was shot down that day. In reality, there were no offensive sorties by
Luftflotte 1 on 14 February 1945.
Cheers,
Andrew A.
