Re: First aerial kill on 1.9.1939, any document?
Due to Polish documents the first bombing of Krakau`s airfield began at 5.20 hours. Due to German documents at 5.29 hours. It was done by KG 77 and was continued until 6.00 hours.
After KG 77 appeared the formation of Ju 87`s I./StG 2 (with Lt.Neubert). Due to Polish documents the second bombing began at 6.14 hours. So Lt. Neubert could have shot down the Polish fighter appr. between 6.15-6.20 hours. This would confirm the "5.15" - surely "6.15" (??) hours given by Neubert himself.
After this occured the well known aerial fighting between Gnys and 2 Do 17E`s of 7./KG 77. But it seems again, more than ever, that we have here a wonderful fairytale. Gnys could not shoot at bombers which since appr. 15-45 minutes were no more in the Krakau area!
