Re: Oblt Helmut Zilken III./JG 54
I do not know if it is the matching claim but a five plane division from 3 GIAP KBF claimed Me 109 that day near the area although they reported the combat some 40 km to the north from Mjasnoj Bor. The victory was credited to st.lt. Kostylev and Borisov. Kostylev claimed also a Hs 126 during the same flight and survived the war as HSU with 9+34 victories.
FWIW
