Nokose will become famous soon enough
Maj. Hans Joachim Harder

On the 20 Aug 1944 Maj. Hans Joachim "Jürgen" Harder the commander of I/JG 53 shot down in Romania two Yak-9 (59 and 60) and an Il-2 (61). In Prien's history of JG 53 volume 3 it has these listed but no time and no location. In Tony Woods list Harder's name is not listed on that date but it does have Lt. Joachim Worlitzsch 2./JG 53 with Il-2 13:25 7712 at 200 m. Does anyone have further information that might have come out over the years about Harder's victories on that date. Could Worlitzch have been a wingman?
