Re: Il-2 killer Joachim Brendel

Hello Johannes,

I think Kittel's traditional score of 267 includes 2 unconfirmed on 30Jun41 (Il-2's) and excludes the Il-2 on the last day of his life.
That means there were 92 Il-2's within his official score of 267.

Brendel has according to your list at least 87 Il-2 kills.
11 kills are listed with unknown types.
10 kills are not listed..
With a percentage of 52% Il-2's among his known kills Brendel may have been credited with an Il-2 total of ~98.

Johannes were you sure when you wrote "...On 28th July 1943 he was shot down by Russian flak, baling-out injured from his Bf109..." ?
Wasn't his unit equipped with the Fw190 then ?

Have a nice afternoon,

Michael
