Re: Please, need information on two JG 2 pilots.
Landmann & Lt Heribert Hufnagel were lost in combat near Brest & St Renan respectively at 1210 & 1205 hrs. Moynet's claim was south of Beachy Head (which is nowhere near Brest) at 1615 hrs (1715 hrs German time). Moynet was apparently on a practice flight and not involved with the attack on Brest which was apparently 4 hours before his claim and JG 2 was intercepting an attack by B17s/B24s on Brest 4 hours before Moynet's claim. However, Oblt Bruno Stolle of 8/JG 2 did claim a B-24 c.1700 hrs on this day (which would make it 1600 hrs UK time) even though no B-24s were lost over the target. If we had the times for the attack on Brest, this would answer the possible discrepancy. Landmann had, I think, 4 kills
