Re: 812Th IAP claimed for Hs 129 in Oct-Dec 1943

I ordered "Dragons on Bird Wings" from Aviaeology mostly for the details on claims against Hs 129s.

Here's what I have regarding the claims list you quoted:

>>Lt Ivan Fedorov claimed one Hs 129 shot down at 9:35 10/23/43 at Northwest of Akimovka as his 11th victories:
>>Lt Vasiliy Shishkin claimed one Hs 129 shot down at 9:45 10/23/43 at West of Vladimirovka as his 3rd victories

There were two losses for that day, both North of Losowatka:

23-Oct-43 Hs 129B-2 140748 Uffz. Albert Frankenstein 14.(Pz)/Schl.G. 9 KIA Rußland North of Losowatka Bruch 100%
23-Oct-43 Hs 129B-2 140759 Fw. Joachim Maciejewski 13.(Pz.)/Schl.G. 9 MIA Rußland North of Losowatka Bruch 100%

>>Ml Lt Ivan Maksimov claimed one Hs 129 shot down (Hs 129B-2 of Fw Jochim Bannier, 10.(Pz)/SchlG 9 ?) at 1310-1358 10/25/43 at 10km west of Akimovka as his 4th victories
>>Cap Pavel Tarasov claimed one Hs 129 shot down at 9:00-10:00 10/25/43 at Nizhniye Serogozy as his 20th victories

There were two ARR Hs 129s lost on 25 October, which crash landed due to flak fire West of Eigenfeld, one East of Kuibyschewo, while the other one in Pl.Qu. 47293:

25-Oct-43 Hs 129B-2 140739 8.Rum.Schl.Gr. Notlandung Rußland Pl.Qu. 47293 Bruch 100%
25-Oct-43 Hs 129B-2 141239 8.Rum.Schl.Gr. Notlandung Rußland East of Kuibyschewo Bruch 100%

>>Cap Yegor Ankudinov claimed one Hs 129 shot down at 12/31/43 over Bolshaya Kostromka airfield as his 6th victories.

No matching loss for that day, or that week.

I would like to know if the places quoted in the Soviet and German/Rumanian documents are close to each other, so the claims could be confirmed.
