Re: Hans Hahn

Hans Hahn lists only the location for the 08 Sep 1940 on claiming his Hurricane. So I used only the times of 13:00-13:42 (12:00 - 12:42 British).

German Claims:
Oblt. Hans Hahn 4/JG 2 Hurricane ?hrs London
Obfw. Siegfried Schnell 4/JG 2 Hurricnae 13:15 ?
Oblt. Helmut Wick 6/JG 2 Hurricane 13:20 ?
Hurricnae 13:30 ?
Hurricnae 13:40 ?
Fw. Erwin Kortlepel 4/JG 3 Hurricnae 13:30 S. of London
Lt. Heinz Bär 1/JG 51 Spitfire 13:20 ?
Oblt. Richard Leppla 3/JG 51 Spitfire 13:20 ?
Oblt. Ignaz Prestrle 2/JG 53 Hurricane 13:25 ?
Oblt Franz Götz 7/JG 53 Hurricane 13:25

RAF losses
41 Sqn Spitfire 12:15 off Dover
46 Sqn Hurricane 12:35 Maidstone
46 Sqn Hurricnae 12:30 off Isle of Sheppey
46 sqn Hurricane 12:30 off Isle of Sheppey
605 Sqn Hurricane 12:30 near Tunbridge

So for four Hurricanes and one Spitfire lost there were eight Hurricanes and two Spitfires claimed by German pilots for this period. So again very bad odds that he actually shot down his Hurricane.
