Re: JG 53 Victories
5 April 1944
IV/JG 51 fighters strafed the airfield at Zubiv, Ukraine, where 728 IAP was stationed. One Yak-9D burned on the ground. Having the misfortune of picking the wrong time to land was a Li-2 bomber of the 12 GAP ADD and was shot down. It crashed to the ground and resulted in 3 crew as killed and 3 wounded.
Unteroffizier Peter Repple (Tony Woods list has the last name as Rogglin) 11./JG 51 claimed a PS-84 (?) at 07:58 at an altitude of 30 meters.
