Re: JGr.Ost versus four-engine bombers

Hi Tony

I have no claims at all for this pilot. I checked JGr.103 and found this unit only ever made one claim, and that was in March 1944, and certainly not Schlenker.
We Jgr.Ost there are thirty-four claims and three names, all for the same day I couldn't successfully identify, all made the same day 31.12.1943, all for Uffz and two were for B-17's, and both names began "Sch" :-

2./JGr.Ost B-17 1230 hrs 3500 metres Uffz "Schu......"
3./JGr.Ost B-17 1250 hrs 3500 metres A.S.M Uffz "Schautner"

I'll seek out the relevant mikrofilm and check against "Schlemker" my guess is it's the 1250 hrs 3./JGr.Ost claim..

There were also six others for 05.01.1944 that were only found on the mikrofilm for each staffel listing date and time only. One was a B-17 by Hans Waldmann of 2./JGr.Ost. Then there are three for 4./JGR.Ost, and two for 3./JGr.Ost, all I have yet to put names to. As Waldmann's was a B-17, there is a good chance the others were.

Kind Regards

Johannes
