Hi Michael

I loose track of Tegtmeier 30th October 1944 when he made his 139th confirmed claim, however he was Staffelkapitän of 3./JG 54 until March 1945 when to joined JG 7, his claimed total of 146 Russian aircraft is likely to be true judging by what claims are known, I would therefore suggest he made seven further claims beyond the scope of the mikrofilms i.e very late 1944 or earlier 1945...….the winter of 1944/1945 to be exact.

Kind Regards

Johannes
