Event dated 19.9.1944 3 x YAK-9 shot down Belgrade
An other puzzle I am after is as into the fate of 3 x YAK's
of 168 GvIAP which departed on September 19,1944 from Bucharest airfield Pipera or Leordeni airfields enroute to their new airfield at Dechempeni presumed as Oradea . Rather arrive on their ETA's and land all 3 pilots may have got engaged air to air over Belgrade shot down or mistakenly landing there due to Nav error . All 3 pilots managed to be captured unharmed, then arrive at Stalag Luft II for Soviet airmen Litzmannstadt (Lodj) The Soviet leader was an expert ranked major with 6 confirmed kills , pilot with VVS since 1939. At a later point in time all 3 attempted an escape were captured by SD in Poland, then executed by Gestapo near Frankfurt and like in many similar cases cremated . Their remains were never found . 1) Which Luftwaffe unit and pilots claimed over Belgrade YAK-1, 3 or 9's or Soviet fighters in the early or late afternoon or which Luftwaffe airfield reported the landing ? 2) Which Luftwaffe unit reported a loss over Belgrade and what type of aircraft ?
