Re: 10./JG11 losses on 26Jun44 Eastern Front?

Ota, Thanks for the info that still leaves SG10 but that probably is unlikely. Here is what I have (Thanks to Adriano Baumgartner for the info on Groupe Normandie-Nieman) Groupe Normandie took off in 2 waves (1st 21 Yaks and 2nd 17 Yaks) at 20:00 hrs (Moscow) to protect the Soviet forces crossing the Beresina River. The 2nd wave was jumped by two FW-190's. The 1st Yak-9 hit was Asp. George Lemare (who's heavy damaged Yak made it back to base). Oblt. Paul-Heinrich Daehne made a claim at 19:45 (grid 95 554). The 2nd Yak-9 attacked was Asp. Jacques Gaston (KIA near Slavini/Bohr). Lt Walter Jahnke made a claim at 20:05 (grid 95 493). Asp. Gael Taburet and Lt Andre Taburet then attacked the two FW-190's who made the attack and shot them down.

In the area Asp Maurice Challe shot down a FW-190 SE of Dokoudovo, Asp Robert Iribane and Asp Jacques Caseneuve one FW-190 each S. of Dokoudovo. Asp Charles Miquel shot down a FW-190 near Orcha he was in turn shot down east of Orcha. Gefr Herman Barion shot down a Yak-9 at 20:06 (grid 05 373). Miquel survived the crash. I'm not familar with the light situation there at that time but it appears only 10./JG11 claims had merit unless SG10 had losses.
Thanks,
Michael
