JG 51 Losses 6-8 May 1943
Hi guys
According to Anders/Held, JG 51 did not suffer any pilots killed from 6 through 8 May 1943. This does not mean that the unit did not suffer any losses, as it is known that Oberfeldwebel Kurt Tanzer (128 victories, RK) of 12./JG 51 was badly injured on 6 May in aerial combat with Il-2 Sturmoviks and fighters although he did claim four victories during the fray. He managed to land his shot up Fw 190 A-4 "Brown 7" (W.Nr. 0147 161) but was out of action until 4 November 1943.
Horrido!
