Re: Whitley Claims 1942

Chris et al,

Thanks for the info, though something else I would like to clarify. On the claims forms [Tony Wood] Oblt Stolle is listed as serving with several different staffel. Chris, in your book you quote Stolle concerning a wellington he shot down on 18-08-42 (from memory - I'm at work at the moment), and although this is mentioned in the claims forms it lists Stolle as flying with/for 4./JG 2, while his/your narative along with passing mention by John Weal have him in 8 staffel. Similarly, a few months later on a claim he is listed as flying with/for Stab III/JG 2.

Was perhaps this just misinterpretation by those filling out the eventual claim forms or was it in fact because Stolle was leant to or on detachment to these units?

Thanks again.

Adam
