Horst Carganico

Hi guys

On War Relics Forum website, I noticed the following on a piece about Horst Carganico

"photos of the rudder when he scored his 50th at the end of July 1942, three additional RAF roundels are recorded for the period October 1941. There were claims against Hurricanes of 151 Wing or there Russian counterparts when they were handed over."

I haven't personally seen any photos as such, but can this be correct? Many of his victories are unrecorded - for example, he claimed six in the first 10 days of July 1941 - no dates, no details.

I'm wondering if he did make three claims against British aircraft in 1941, that they may have been claimed on 31 July during the FAA raid on Petsamo and Kirkenes?

Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian
