Re: Victory of Fw. Friedrich SCHEER 8./JG 53 on May 24th, 1944
Hello Kurtl,
according to the JG 53 chronicle of Jochen Prien (Vol. 3 pages 1147, 1148 and 1156) on 23 May 1944 the III./JG 53 encountered a B-26 formation. The Bf 109 G-6 of Fw Scheer was hit and crashed 20 km southeast of Rome. He bailed out and was slightly wounded.
On 24 May 1944 the 8./JG 53 claimed one victory (Ofhr Landt/Spitfire) and had one loss (Uffz Fröschmann).
Regards
Leo
