Re: Luftwaffe claims on 16.05.40

Hi ,


Re: Galland and you say Spitfire claim.

From 12 days in may

It has "Hptm Adolf Galland of Stab/JG27 reported downing a Hurricane one mile south of Lille at 18.30, but since Sgt Wilkinson ( L1899 ) reported that he had seen the Bf110 shoot down Sqn Ldr Gifford's Hurricane ( P2825 ), it would seem that the latter had fallen to the Bf110 crew and that Galland had attacked Wilkinson's Hurricane"
( Re:L1899, this Hurricane was lost the next day [17th] crash landed at Vittry with Sgt P. Hillwood burned.)

Where did you gwt the Spitfire claim details from ?

Alex
