Re: Bf-110B down 3rd Sept 1939 near Warsaw
The original statement was as follows: 'according to Marius Emmerling 'Luftwaffe nad Polską 1939' tom I - Bf.110B from 3. Staffel I.(Z)/LG 1 was shot down over Zielonka (w gminie Kobyłka) by CO of 111 EM por. Wojciech Januszewicz.'
The victim of Januszewicz was identified just after the combat, and this information was repeated in several books, published years before Emmerling's one, including Cynk's volume. Therefore any claim that it was Emmerling who identified opponents is just ridiculous.
Cynk's book does include a lengthy account of Januszewicz and it is a matter of fact that Polish accounts are more numerous and more detailed comparing to the German ones.
