Re: Jagdflieger unconfirmed victories and official confirmation of claims
Nikita,
well, my opinion is the same as yours regarding the German (and Hungarian) overclaims, as I described it in my aces book.
BTW another cathegory, over Hungary there were many Hungarian-German 'collective' air victories, and these planes were confirmed individually many times in both sides (in Hungarian side with less points and with the mentioned German claims, at the Luftwaffe, as 'full own' kills). Sometimes even shared with the AA artillery as well (but confirmed separately as a full kill). It happened at night too (same plane was confirmed to German night fighters and AA artillery separately).
Dénes,
in few occasions, over Transylvania, the AA artillery claimed the same planes as the Jagdwaffe, so they are overclaimed there as well (fighters or AA artillery, or both).
