Re: Werner and Victor Molders

Brian,

it's a fact that Victor Moelders had been sneaked upon by 2 Bf 109s. Fritz von Scheve, the then Major beim Stabe of Wolfgang Falck, CO of I./ZG 1, reports it in detail in his 'Kriegsgeschichte der I./ZG 1', a handcrafted War Diary he presented to Falck when the latter left the group to become the first Kommodore of NJG 1 in Summer 1940. Victor himself confirmed the incident to me last year when I interviewed him for my biography of his brother. He also confirmed he and his brother took for granted that Werner had been downed by friendly fire over France.

Cheers,
Kurt
