Re: Il-2 killer Joachim Brendel

Hi Michael

That for 16th March 1942 is vague, could be an unconfirmed claim, but likely nothing.
That for 10th June 1943 is a confusion/combination of two claims, note two claims with the same amerk number 393.
That for 9th July 1943 again confusion, previous claim amerk out of sequence.
Those for 6th & 3rd August 1943 were made by Hptm Fritz Stendel. moreover Brendel not flying at this period due to wounds.

That for 22nd July 1943 is simply a mis-reading of time, actually 1302 hrs.

That for 28th August 1944 is a mistake on my behave, the details you gave are correct, mine mistakenly had a time of 0845 hrs, and wrong aircraft type of La-5, can't explain how I made the mistake, but my mistake.........sorry.

150th confirmed claim was on 22nd October 1944. Apart from five claims in early March 1945 which can be confirmed from KBT papers, all other 1945 claims must be considered suspect, or at least open to question.

Kind Regards

Johannes
