Re: Kirkenes/Petsamo 31/7/41 - German claims

[quote=Brian;49843]Hi guys

As some of you may not have seen my earlier request for details of German claims during the Kirkenes/Petsamo raids of 31 July 1941, I would appreciate any help as these do not appear in Tony Woods' lists.

Bf110s from 13(Z)/JG5 apparently claimed 5 Swordfish/Albacores

Apart from a claim for an Albacore destroyed by Hptm Schlossstein of 13(Z)/JG5, I DO NOT know the identities of any of the other claimants.

Hello Brian,

maybe you mean 30 July 1941? This was the day, when KFS was shot down. He made the mission report on 31 July 1941, after he was saved and on the Gefechtsstand again.

KFS told me the following claims of the 10.(Z)/JG 5 (later named in 13.(Z)/JG 5):

Leutnant Karl Koch (1), Leutnant Felix Brandis (2), Leutnant Max Franzisket (1), Oberleutnant Karl-Fritz Schlossstein (1 confirmed, 1 unconfirmed).

Best, Horst
