Re: Uffz Sawallisch JG 27
Guys,
Otto Sawallisch (2 Claims with 2/JG27 -one on 1 Jun 1940) does not appear to have been the same pilot as Erwin Sawallisch (36) who flew with JG77 (a 4/JG77 claim on 13 Jun 1940) and later infamously with 4/JG27 in 1941.
Incidentally, Erwin Sawallisch (36) has at least 3 Verified Victories. However, of his 17 claims in Afrika none have been Verified (though at least one is possible) and 11 have been identified as Overclaims -one researcher who has generously shared data with me has characterized at least 10 of his last 14 claims as “Pure invention”. I hope this provokes an in depth discussion of this pilot and the allegations surrounding him and his schwarm. Does anyone remember the other pilots of his infamous schwarm and can someone post a photo of Sawallisch and his schwarm mates?
