So i think your info is more concret and so maybe right?

PS: Bergstrom also stated that documents of 55. IAP seems to be lost.
Jens, recent Russian research by Mikhail Bykov clearly indicates that Pokryshkin claims cannot be supported by any archival documentation. Most importantly, it does not support thesis of lost papers, as there is everything present for all the remaining airmen of 55 IAP. In another words, all signs on earth indicate Pokryshkin's memoirs are fiction.
