Re: Fw Schellknecht's kill claim
Hi Witold,
on 20 May 1943 one part of the I./JG 26 transferred from Ossinowka to Orel, another part to Smolensk. The rest of the group remained in Ossinowka.
On 28 May the base of Fw Schellknecht was not Orel. He took off either in Smolensk or in Ossinowka to Welikije Luki/Velikie Luki.
On 2 June 1943 he was missing north of Kursk in his Fw 190 A-5 WNr. 7365 yellow 8.
