Re: German day fighter top aces by JG
Hi Nick,
The 2 hrs time zone difference between the soviet and German reports seems to be constant (in Hungary), plus Berlin and Budapest are both in the same time zone.
(But in Knut's case, for instance, it is still much more difference than that and his Yak-3 was the ONLY YAK COMBAT LOSS in the air on October 27, 1944 for the 5 VA covering the Nyiregyhaza area. The other 2 Yaks of 513 IAP on Debrecen airfield (1 Yak-1b - №20150 - written off by October 27, 1944, 1 Yak-9T - № 2515338, written off by the November 2, 1944 mechanical report) were destroyed on the ground... 8 Bf 109s and 6 Fw 190s' low level strafing on Debrecen airfield:
- destroyed 1 Yak-1b, and 1 Yak-9 from 513 IAP on the ground, injured 4 people (including Yak-9 pilot, A. P. Kutuzov+),
- burned 3 930 NBAP Po-2/U-2: (№8257, №127107, №167109), while damaging 7,
- damaged 2 451 ShAP IL-2s,
- damaged 2 18 TAP planes. From readiness only one soviet Yak-1b could take off under heavy fire...)
Sorry, no excuse for Hartmann...
Gabor
