Re: Event dated 19.9.1944 3 x YAK-9 shot down Belgrade
Yes is correct in Sept 44 they were at Tecuci , then Pipera ( Baneasa Bucharest ) and then Decampeni
probably somewhere near Oradea. Also correct the mixed fleet of YAK-1 , 3 and 9 . The 5th VA
documents may not be as good as the 168th Opersvodka , because by Sept they may have been
under 17th VA . Relevant remaining the grounds on why they arrived over Belgrade and how the three
again managed to stage an escape from Lodj on 27.10.44,aslo why the remaining two of them were
handed over by SD Lodj to Gestapo Frankfurt just in order to be executed later on.
An other open thing is not clear when exactly the GvIAP 168 became part of 17VA
