Re: JG 27 victories in Russia
3 September 1941
On looking at the documents for the Soviet 7 IAK and the losses of the VVS KBF for this day there is some gaps that leave things unclear.
Oblt. Erbo Graf von Kageneck 9/JG 27 I-18 (54) 05:28 SW of Vassikovo
Maj. Bernhard Woldenga Stab/JG 27 I-18 (2) 09:22 Markovo
Nothing could be found to link to a Soviet loss but there was a LaGG-3 from the 19 IAP listed as MIA but no times and no circumstances.
Oblt. Erbo Graf von Kageneck 9/JG 27 I-16 (55) 09:57 SE of Slutsk (this is in the Kolpino area). This can be explained.
I-16 157 IAP St. Lt. Agapov was on a reconnaissance mission with 2 other I-16 to the airfield to the west of Krasnogvardeysk. They were intercepted by 4 Bf 109 leaving and involved in a dogfight at 1800 m. St. Lt. Agapov was wounded and shot down but still evaded and later returned to his unit.
