Gordon,

There is a bit about Georg Rischbieter in Arthy & Jessen's Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in North Africa. He claimed 2 Spitfires with 10./SKG 10 in Tunisia before being WIA on 24 April 1943. He claimed 3 more Spitfires with 6./SG 4 in Italy during the Fall of 1943. Awarded the Deutsche Kreuz in Gold on 20.03.44. Also I have claims for a LaGG-9 (sic) destroyed and a La-5 damaged in July 44 with 7./SG 4.

You say you found 5 claims for Trestler, however I have only found 4 as follows:

03.04.43 LaGG-5
14.10.43 B-17
28.05.44 B-17
20.06.44 B-24

Can you tell me the missing 5th claim?

Thanks,
Tom
