Re: Rolf Pingel

Michel

I am interested in your source which states Pingel had six unconfirmed claims.

I know I frequently quote Johannes and his lists, but so far I find them quite accurate, hence my question to Nick

You include a claim from 15.8.1940 which Johannes does not list (and Michel says was unconfirmed).

What is your source it was confirmed?

Finally, John Foreman, seems to be convinced that the four losses sustained by No 74 Sq on 27.6.1941 were scored by Siegfried Schnell (2), Josef Priller (1) and Rolf Pingel (1). Possibly Pingel claimed P/O Mould who actually made it back to base where he crashlanded, injured. Foreman lists Schnell as the most likely pilot shooting down Mungo-Parks.

The other German pilots listed by Michel both claimed against other oponents in different combats.

Cheers
Stig
