Re: Identifications of German victories over East Prussia in October 1944

[quote=Stig Jarlevik;316682]Courtois
Which two Il-2s were lost then by 277ShAD?

according the report of the 1st VA, 2 Il-2 have been loosed.

I have made a mistake the 277 ShAD have only 1 Il-2 missing in action according the 1th VA report. Bit I can found loss in this of 277th ShAD. Maybe the Il-2 landed on another ground and joined his unit the next day, which is quite common .

The second is loosed by the 10 ORAP during reconnaissance missions in the Gumbinnen and Philippuv sectors (from memory south of Goldap). I have no more information.

Anyway the Luftwaffe does not claim an Il-2 on October 21, 1944.

Thank you very much Stig, for pointing out my mistakes!


PS ; 324th IAD operating in the Murmansk area ?
