Re: Otto Kittel - Oct. 15 1943

In fact, Kittel claimed two LaGG-3s on that mission - at 0737 and 0738 hours - and an Il-2 at 0804 hours. Since Uffz Josef Kammerl and Oblt. Kurt-Reinhard Fischer (both of I./JG 54, where Kittel too served) also claimed a LaGG-3 and an Il-2 in the same area and at the same time (0742 and 0801 hours), we can assume that Kittel flew with at least a Schwarm of four. So maybe Ofw Werner Koerfges was the "fourth man" and was shot down on this mission?

Sorry, no Abschussmeldung. I assume it's been lost.
