I will find the book on my home and post the corrects passages later, ok? Didnīt do that because I am unable now!

Adriano,
something is wrong with that remembrance as well. On the mentioned day (IIRC 27 Oct, 1944), there were no lost HSU Soviet fighter pilot over Hungary. Maybe he confused the events with a former dogfight (but to me, that book is still the best German fighter remembrance from WW II, a fine book from a fine pilot).
BTW I found a HSU Il-2 pilot as well, who was shot down by Lipfert over Hungary (definitely by him).
