Re: Victory claim by Bf 109G pilot over Bulgaria on 10 September 1944?

Dear Denes,

victim of Maj. J. Gamringer (NSGr.4) was identified as Letov Š-328 (Š 328.407) from Slovakian insurgent forces (during Slovak National Uprising) from airfield Mokrad.
Crew rtk. Stefan Zuber and lt. Anton Strycek were injured, aeroplane crashlanded near Gerlachov (aprox. 7 km NW from Poprad, Slovakia).
Other sources differs in one or two days, but Letov was clearly shot down by two Ju-87.

Source: Biography of General Frantisek Fajtl (DFC, BofB pilot, then CO of 1st Czechoslovak fighter regiment on Eastern Front despatched to support Slovak National Uprising), page 516
Jiri Rajlich, " General Fajtl" , publisher: Svet Kridel, 2012, ISBN 978-80-87567-12-8

Best.

David
