Hi Guys

I can clear up the thirty-three claims of Brunotte. There were exactly three. The first is very clear on the mikrofilms 24.10.1944 1120 hrs Jak-9 at 300 metres with 13./JG 51(I have checked Prien must be in error, possibly another EXCEL mis-sort). The ace Elmar Arensmeyer bless him had a habit of mentioning other pilots claims and numbering them i.e a lot for Heinz Marquardt, possibly because he was a witness, anyway on 24.04.1945 he records Brunotte's claim for a Il-2 as that pilots third.

Brunotte 02.06.1923-19.01.2023 flew also for JGr.Nord and NaG102 earlier, possibly he completed his training with JGR.Nord.

Basically there is no evidence Brunnotte got thirty-three claims, and evidence with Arenmeyer that he didn't, possibly he flew thirty-three combat sorties? So three claims should be regarded as FACT.

Kind Regards

Johannes
