Re: Rolf Pingel

My sources (for Spain) are among many:Ries/Ring (Legion condor),Surficity.kund.dained.se....etc etc
05/06/37:as the source over,that claim is not in the list of claims (bestatigt) established by Georg Fleischmann(KIA 30/04/40)
I "investigated":there is a big probability (not to say certain) that Toma Baquero Moreno was shot down by Bruno Montegnacco (26° Squadriglia) who claim a Curtis at "Castro Urdiales" distant of 7/8 km of San Juan Somorrostro.
For the others:J.Prien
14/05/40:annotated without B (for Bestatigt),with reason because no Bloch shot down in the region of Sedan (place of the claims of Pingel).
15/08/40:always J.Prien (no B) + Battle of Britain combat archive(no mention of a claim that day).
27/06/41:the other combat that I have (source J.L Roba) is the one from 16.00/17.00 with these losses:
19° Sqd (P7379) around Calais
266° Sqd (P8188) dunkerque
266° Sqd (P8185) over sea
claimed by Ebersberger 16.59 "Marquise" and Schopfel 17.05
I forgot Balthasar (one spit) in the combat around 22.00:so 6 claims (exept that of Pingel) for 4/5 (?) losses .
In summary:
Priller,claim 22.00
Held,claim 22.07
Jackel,claim 22.10
Schnell(2),claims 21.30,21.30
Balthasar ,claim 22.03
sources:Prien and Caldwell
