Re: Uffz. Hubert Kudznik Ta 152, JG 301

The distance between the Parchim and Neustadt-Glewe airfields is only 12 km. Perhaps he saw the two Ta 152s and then followed them.
The fact is, Cowan was shot down by flak fire at Neustadt airfield.
Why does Urbanke in LiF no. 29 change from April 18th to April 20th, 1945? Because there's no mention of April 19th, 1945 anywhere. He writes about a Platzschutzeinsatz in Hagenow at the end of April 1945, during which Hartmut (Hugobert) Langelotz was killed. Reschke doesn't give a date for this. The fact is, Langelotz fell on April 19th. Lothar Ettmüller (according to Reschke, April 16th), Bernhard Ikier, Kurt Zimmermann, and Hans Viehbeck also fell on April 19th.
