Sept. 9th, or 20th,1939?
Seasons greetings: Wondering if anyone could provide clarification on the date's, of which appear to be possibly duplicate claims. On 9th Sept. Hptm. Wilhelm Leesmann( first name correct?)and Oblt Dietrich von Bothmer of Stab/JGr.152 are credited with claims on 2 French Bloch 200's around 1445hrs near Saarbrucken.This Info from "Fledgling Eagles" In Tony Woods claims lists,the same 2 pilots are credited with "battles" in the same area, at the same time,only the date is Sept. 20th. Shores mentions a Hptm Wiggers of the same unit as being involved on the 20th,but the claims list doesn't support this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Dean.
