Re: A couple of questions re StFw Heinz Kuschel, I./JG 27
Dear Hans,
there seems to be some confusion in this Flugbuch. The only claim that I have for StFw. Heinz Kuschel was an endgültige Vernichtung of a B-17 north of Langendiebach on 12 May 1944, which did not count as an Abschuss. It is strange though that this claim was filed on his 10th Feindflug in May while still in Germany, whereas his allegedly first Abschuss was filed on his 8th sortie in June 1944 in France. Then I./JG27 reported no a/c lost on 8 August 1944, the Gruppe at that time waiting to be withdrawn to Germany, reporting "0" pilots ready for combat on 10 August 1944. Finally, the Staffelkapitän of 1./JG 27 for the time in question would have been Llt.Max Winkler - I leave it to you to decide if that's the name behind the signature.
