Re: Seeking help with research about JG-52 and JG-51 during Zitadelle
Zalievskiy was HSU and perished in this combat.
As regards to Strassl, he possibly was involved also in the combat with La-5s of 486 IAP (his victories at 10.34 and 10.36) when 7 La-5s were shot down, including regiment commander Maj. Pelipets (captured) and squandron commander Kap. Ovsienko (missing).
In general 16 VA losses were about 100 planes for July 5, 1943. That makes 6 LF fighters overclaim roughly about 1:1,5 (not taking into consideration Flak claims).
