Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)
20 Aug 1941
Oblt. Johannes Missfeldt 7./JG 51 I-61 (7) 13:12 no location given but the only single claim for a fighter in this region. The other claims were earlier and for three fighters.
MiG-3 (#3543) 38 ORAE Kapt Viktor Dmitrievich Kozulya (POW) took off alone for a reconnaissance mission in the regions of Arkhovshchina, Krasny Bor, Smolensk. Kozulya was captured near Dukhovshchina. He told the Germans he was part of a Parachute Regiment, probably to make them think such a unit had landed behind the lines. He was involved in a revolt in 1945. The records for the 38 ORAE for August 1941 are few.
