Re: Jagdflieger unconfirmed victories and official confirmation of claims
Hello Gentlements!
Confirmation procedure and real OKL award situation well described in Y-S Lorant's book "JG300" vol.1.
Seems claims of ASM grade, unconfirmed etc. became rare in 1944 and confirmation procedure extremely simplified. Also he mentioned situation when OKL awarded two or more different units for one plane claimed shot down. For example flak and fighter units should be awarded separately for common plane in first war years and in 1944 seems different fighters units took part in plane destruction could be awarded separately also.
Soviet and German confimation system in reality based only on witness accounts and overclaim generally tha same rate 3:1.
P.S. Gun camera not used for confirmation in Luftwaffe, but only for study films creation.
Regards.
