Re: I./JG 1 on 18 Mar 43
Hello,

in JFV 10/II the claim list of I./JG 1 includes three entries for the 2./JG 1 on 18 March 1943:
Lt Heinz Knoke B-24 (2.) 15.14 10 km southeast of Helgoland confirmed
Oblt Hugo Frey B-24 (6.) 15.18 north of Wangerooge confirmed
Lt Dieter Gerhardt B-24 15.37 area Heligoland not confirmed.
In JFV 10/I is noted (footnote 127 on page 48):
"Der Abschuss von Lt Gerhardt ist nur in den Aufzeichnungen von Heinz Knoke erwähnt; er erscheint weder in den Unterlagen des XII. Fl.-Korps noch in den Abschusslisten des RLM, dürfte also nicht zur Anerkennung eingereicht worden sein" = the claim for Lt Gerhardt was obviously not submitted for confirmaton.

Regards
Leo
