Re: Strange case of Walter Dahl

Hi Alessandro

List states 16th March 1945 was a Lightning.

I did flick through Dahl's book, and found that Walter Loos was the witness to his first JG300 claim on 7th July 1944. I wonder if anybody has a copy of Loos's flugbuch? Sometimes a pilots mentions witnessing claims. According to Obermeier's Ritterkreuz book Loos claims nine Russian aircraft with Jg301 during 1945, I suspect they were with Stab./JG300 and with Dahl, and probably on the same days that Dahl claims.
If dahl was running some kind of scheme with Loos, then Loos would be wanting some form of reward. Easiest situation to do this is if your with the Stab, usually only flying as a group of 2,3 or 4. Guess also it would have to be the highest ranking person making the suggestion.

Kind Regards

Johannes
