Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
Hello
Yes, the Russian documents tell the truth.
However, one thing is certain, on the evening of June 4 the 5 VA had 8 P-39 few.
Even the No.20 after the aerial battle in which the No.36 was lost, had to go to the workshop. She only made training flights until June 7th, until she flew on June 8th.
Maybe Hartmann met her after all.
Secondly; for the Russians a loss occurred only when the aircraft, the pilot, was lost. Damage like the Germans 60% could be repaired. And losses that were too great were not seen well in the upper staff and also in the political offices.
