Re: Horst Petzschler
Hi Melvin
Thank you very much for taking the time to research the answer to my questions. That was very kind of you and I appreciate your efforts greatly. I am sure that the date that Petzschler flew Bf 109 G-10 "Yellow 5" (W.Nr. 130 297) to Bulltofta in Sweden was 4 May 1945. Originally he was to fly to Schleswig-Holstein but diverted to Sweden due to navigational problems and a damaged fuel tank. I must say that I have been going over his victory list with data from Wood's claims lists and have found one extra victory. He is usually credited with 26 victories but there may be one more or it may most likely be an unconfirmed victory. I wish I could post what I have here but the table results totally distorted. Thank you for your help!
Horrido!
Leo
