Reflection about Johannes Gentzen

Hello all

What are the documents that allow us to say that he has obtained 18 "Abschusse"?
I noted several facts that don't make sense.

For ex.
In ACES vol2:"it is probable that his missing claims took place between 26th April and 10th May 1940....whaou,there are no such losses (nor fighting) that could justify his 9 missing claims..

When he died (26/05/40),he "would have been 18 kills"....well...top scorer of luftwaffe (with Mölders),top scorer in Poland,"top scorer on Bf.110",GruppenKommandeur....so why did he never receive RK,DK?...posthumous??
That sould have been "largely sufficient".

That's why I doubt of these 18 kills,but if documents exist?

There is his claim list and one day it will be published. Unfortunately no times given and much overclaiming.

I don't understand.
There is a list of its claims? and in 2021 it's still pending publication? why wait?

Is it a HUGE secret?

Re: Reflection about Johannes Gentzen

So somebody should publish just a claim list? No. This should be not a "aces book" but more complex historical book. That still needs time and money.
