Mystery Concerning Adolf Dickfeld Victories
Hi guys
My apologies if this subject has been written about previously but I am wondering if anyone would have any information concerning victories 132 and 133 of this ace? According to Prien he had claimed 129 victories by the time he was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 2 in November 1942. He claimed two victories with this unit in North Africa (130-131). The next two victories that I am aware of were claimed as Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 11 (134-135) according to Wood. His final victory (136) was purportedly claimed on 21 April 1945 with Stab/JG 80 against a P-47 fighter (I am aware that JG 80 "Hitler-Jugend" was never formed and this particular claim is not the focus of my question). Could anyone enlighten me on victories 132 and 133 or were the two victories he claimed with II./JG 11 actually these? Many thanks for any assistance. Horrido! Leo |
