Re: French WW2 decimal score aces
Apparently NO Ju 290 recorded lost on the 20th April 1945...only recorded losses of type on the massive 2nd TAC by Shores and Thomas were on the night of 22nd April and 25th April...by Mosquitos (264 and 409 Sqdns)...so, do not know what was claimed...and no entry on the relevant ORB too regarding this claim or a possible ground victory either!
Imagine Historians being put on jail for writing and re-writing ancient History based on new archives or documents found!
Anyway, his claims (as others too) can be checked with relevant documents, etc...I have tried to match some, since I read and re-read his books, but it is a hard work.
Perhaps his Logbooks will be available for an accurate Historical Research, by accredited French Historians (we do have many to quote...)...maybe....
