I too bump that quite old thread as I found confusing those JG 7 victories from Johannes Steinhoff:

Coming from you Johannes I'm inclined to believe they are legitimate but most sources tells JG 7 was engaged in the West on those days (was it JV 44 for the 20th March?). Soviets first sighting of Me 262 occured in mid-February and they scored a single victory on 22 March before real confrontations occured between the VVS and german jets from 27 April 1945 onward. Were there any jet victories over Soviet aircraft before that or that's just Steinhoff and his three victories?
