Re: Questions about three Luftwaffe losses on 30 October 1944
Hello Evgenyi,
The Luftwaffe summary losses database for this day has the following:
1 aircraft of I./J.G.54 missing due to enemy action (reported on 05/11/1944)
1 aircraft of II./J.G.54 destroyed without enemy action on operational flight (reported on 05/11/1944)
No damaged aircraft reported for JG 54 this day. If Männlin was wounded in a landing crash, his aircraft was probably damaged more than 10% and so "should" be in the above report. You can never be sure, but the aircraft of II./JG 54 above was probably his, and so was not involved.
The first loss was the aircraft of Oblt Ritzel that you are asking about.
Best regards
