Hi Guys

There is a type of mikrofilm that is for pilots claims only, but is only starting half way through the "K's" and ends half way through the "L's". It gives a date and time only, and usually just has what is on the other mikrofilms anyway. In this instance it provides claims for 14.12.1939 1550 hrs and 31.01.1944 1520 hrs which were not as a ZG pilot, however his bordfunker Martin Heinze's flugbuch has survived for the 5./SKG 210 claims, and three are recorded on the mikrofilms anyway, I estimate these to be claims 8-16, these are the flugbuch only claims:-

15th July 1941 Boston bei flugplatz Schatalowka 1305-1445 hrs nr.9
7th October 1941 R-5 N-E Vyazma 1125-1315 hrs nr.12
22nd October 1941 Po 63 SW Moscow X 2 1035-1210 hrs nr.13-14
9th December 1941 (type unknown) south of Livny 1000-1120 hrs nr.15
19th December 1941 (type unknown) NW Yelets 1030-1150 hrs nr.16.

I would calculate he had twenty-one claims as a ZG pilot assuming those above were confirmed, and thirty-nine confirmed overall.

Kind Regards
