Re: Heinz Bartels trio down on 23rd April 1944

One of Bartels' dubious claims. No Spitfires were lost in that area, which isn't strange since it was beyond range of any Spit unit in Italy at the time - if my calculations were ok. 15.AF was flying over Slovenia that day but there are no matching losses for any American fighter either. So, what you have came down on some later date, in my opinion in 1945.
