Nikita,

Well, I stated, that I know one of Barkhorn's kills, which was over enemy territory without witness and it was confirmed to him. Maybe he has more similar ones, but I know exactly only one, I fond just few of his detailed Abschussmeldungen in BA-MA (will check it in details, if you need).

BTW to me, the Soviet method is more interesting, because I know less about the Soviet system.
I am sure, that the Soviet authorities know the German official loss reports (mostly via radio and the gap between the VVS fighter claims and the German losses was evident instantly) How was it possible, that high number of overclaims were confirmed so easily? And if the Soviet authorities confirmed kills just over own territory in the first part of the conflict, what about the not found German wrecks (to me, the found wrecks would be the main cause of this rule)?
