Re: 1940 victories of Lt. Rolf Hermichen
Larry,
As I think you know, there was some speculation on this forum last month that Hermichen's 4th victory was a Swiss Bf 109 on 4 June. As for claims 5 through 8; Obermeier in Die Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe says that he claimed 3 RAF fighters in August, the first of these, according to Vasco & Cornwell in ´Zerstörer: The Messerschmitt Bf 110 and its Units in 1940, was a Hurricane on 12 August. His 8th claim was, again according to Obermeier, a Beaufort off the Norwegian coast on 9.02.41.
Regards,
Tom
