Re: Wolfgang Spate's 1941 claims?
I already mentioned Nowotny as unreliable 'source' of claims in comparison with very strict Lt. Henkemeier in one of my recent previous posts on TOCH. They served both and simultaneously in 1.(Erg)/JG 54 and differed from each other obviously regarding claims.
Yes, only 1 and probably another one of his very first 10 claims can be confirmed by real losses (and in this case I can say that I researched every of his and Henkemeier's claims in detail).
Unfortunately Henkemeier perished in such pity circumstances. But probably fortunately for VVS keeping in mind his confirmation ratio.
