Re: German overclaims in the East. Hartmann and others...
On October 27, 1944 at 13:42 six Yak-3s of 5 VA, 13 GvIAD, 150 GvIAP, 2nd Sq., led by Gv.Lt.Col. Borovoy encountered 16 Fw 190s and 4 Bf 109s in the Nyíregyháza region at the altitude of 2000 m. Gv.Lt. Nikolai Matveevich Knut was shot down in his Saratov, Factory No.292-built Yakovlev Yak-3 (S/N: 2912 ("29-292-12"), engine: 412-200, tactical No. '29') South of Nyíregyháza, Hungary and got injured. 5 VA, 207 OKRAP has also written off two Omsk, Factory No.166-built Yak-9Ds (S/N: 19166066 and 19166078, engines 415-1037 and 415-90) between November 1-15, 1944 as prev. days' losses. Could any of these be Hartmann's 305th???
