Re: Post 8th May 45 Shoot downs by Luftwaffe
It is probable that Anson XII PH539 of Desert Air Force Communication Flight "attacked by three Yak fighters off Wolfsberg near Graz, Austria" on 11 May 1945 was in fact shot down by three Soviet La-7 fighters of 848 IAP (194 IAD, 17. VA).
That evening on 11 May 1945 three Soviet pilots of 848 IAP led by 2/Lt N. N. Olejnik claimed two Ju 52s as shot down in flames in 27 km W. of Graz and 12 km NW of Graz respectively.
