Re: Normandy a bit more difficult
Hi, Remi.
Took a look at what I had on JG 5 on this day:
I./J.G.5 lost a total of 8 aircraft reported. 6 of these were combat losses, 2 total losses and 4 damaged.
They reported 4 pilots wounded or killed, 2 pilots were wounded, both of these flew aircraft reported as damaged or total loss in combat, while the two pilots reported as killed seems to have been killed in accidents!
Having reviewed the NVM's of the unit for this day I have identified the wounded and killed pilots:
Killed:
Wolfgang Buth, 69921/67
Eckhart Berneburg, 59741/384
Wounded:
Walter Wagner, 68455/326
Herbert Funken, 59745/561
So it seems that the NVM's and summary loss records are consistent, and that the pilot is not from JG 5.
But there are plenty of losses to choose from on this date... my summary losses show there is at least 70 fighter losses recorded on this day
Regards,
Andreas B
