Hi there
I'd like to ask if some of you know the name of German pilot of Bf-109 who scored a victory against Yak-9 from Polish 1 Pulk Lotnictwa Mysliwskiego 'Warszawa" (Warsaw 1 Fighter Regiment) on 13 February 1945 at 16:00 (Moscow time) near Ogorzeliny (close to Bydgoszcz). Polish pilot ppor J. Gosciuminski was KIA in this combat. It was the single attack(2 vs. 2) from behind and separation.

A qualified guess would be a pilot from either Stab, I. or IV./JG 51.

I would say maybe IV./JG 51. That unit registered two Bf 109 G-6s shot down in air combat in that region on 13 February 1945. The Luftwaffe claimed 12 victories (against 25 own losses) on the Eastern Front that day, but infortunately I don't have any details regarding who scored those victory claims.

Thaks a lot.

This is awsome info Christer and if you happened to find the Airmen who scored those victory claims on the Eastern Front that day don't hesitate to post it here, I am sure our friend Leon from the beautiful city of Lublin would be interested about it just like me.

Regards
