Re: Alwin Boerst Ju87G-1 codes known?

Well, that's the first I've read that both were shot down by fighters.
Given they were both flying Ju-87s, I find it odd that the Germans would cover up the way they were shot down. I mean, I would hardly call it a great feat for fighters to shoot down a Ju-87. And it surely couldn't be good for ground attack troops' morale to know the veterans fell to AA fire.
It's not really within the scope of my original post, but does anyone have evidence to support the claim they were shot down by fighters?
Cheers
Peter
