Re: Claim on 25 June 1944 near Aix en Provence
It is not uncommon in the Luftwaffe to give credit of a victory to a falling pilot (to somehow lessen that loss?). Maybe because on return the pilots reported they saw an enemy (at least that's what they thought) plane in flame and therefor gave credit to the missing pilot.
Identifying the exact victorious pilot, even with the 31st FG combat reports, is probably impossible.
