Dear Theo

No offence taken, I understand your angle and agree that outside of the mikrofilms things are often still a dark area. If I was to fake something like you mention I would use what is fact, then fabricate areas outside of the mikrofilms, in the case of the NJG units that would be 1945. I have several photos od abschüßetafel of NJG units(genuine I think/hope) that cover the earlier years, but none seem to have continued into 1945. But we are fortunate that you had a better chance of surviving the war as a NJG crew than day-fighters, so better chance of flugbücher surviving, and with three crew members is triples the chances of getting to the facts, also they were most likely to have surrendered not to the Russians, possibly the best was to be taken prisoner by the British who seemed more disciplined not to steal the flugbücher.
I do know that abschüßeliste were issued to pilots, I have one from a SG pilot who was killed a few days before the end of the war, and his daughter sent me a copy covering 1943, it proved like we suspect that the SG units were slack when it came to reporting their claims for the daily mikrofilm sheets.
I do believe though that Leistungsbücher were self generated.

It's an interesting hobby we have, always evolving/improving, but never ending.

Kind Regards

Johannes
