Re: "Normandie" claims over Bf110, 13 july 1943

In aerojournal HS number 3 on Normandie Niemen :
Littolff, Castelain & Durand each claim 1 Bf110G while escorting IL-2s over Koselsk : 19h40 (East European Time ?)
The patrol face 24 Bf110s, and 5 of them try to intercept the Il2s
On the German side, the Bf110G2 Wk Nr 6111 (2.ZG1) is highly damaged, and G9+BA is destroyed (Major Joachim Blechsmidt kimmodore of 1.ZG1 and the rear gunner killed). They most probably meet French claims.
