Re: August Lambert II./SG 2
Hi Michael
Regarding the often quoted score of 116 for Lambert, can't say why, have also seen 127 often for him. Could include unconfirmed or ground claims, but honestly I can't predict why. The day of his first will remain a mystery until either his flugbuch or abschüßmeldung come to light, these have either been destroyed, with a collector, or with family, often the family destroyed such items in case the were found by the Russian's. I do have an aschüßelist for a SG pilot who had 103 confirmed claims, attributed to another pilot, but I think it's fake.
Lambert being disliked by his superior would suggest envy or perhaps he was suspected of fraudulent claims, and without any evidence either way the opportunity was there as just a few guys were claiming huge amounts of Russian aircraft in a short period. Without more information on the claims the claims/Russian loses experts are unlikely to be able to really investigate this.
Kind Regards
Johannes
