Re: Clostermann shot down?
Gents :
the date was 21 April 1945. pilot Leutnant Rudi Wurff of 6./JG 301 dove out of the clouds in his Dora 9 and shot down Clostermann's wingman, went back up into the clouds and according to Pierre came out of the clouds again and shot up his Tempest in which he crash-landed. Clostermann in his regard gave Rudi at least 2-3 kills on this date reporting that with his skillful flying had shot down his whole flight of 4 ~ but has been only given credit for 1 Tempest.
this was from an old re-collection written down back in the 1960's and reproduced in one of Clostermann's books edited
there is a photo of Rudi in Reschke's JG 301 book on page 204 with his Dora 9
