Re: Erich Hartmann - several questions
Nikita, Thanks for the answer on the above question on Pokrishkin.
I believe Hartmann stated he was a bad shot in "The Blond Knight of Germany" which is why he bore in close to fire. If your a bad shot a prolong dogfight might not be to your advantage. In Valeny Romanenko's book "Airacobras enter Combat" he stated that he thought that Hartmann might have shot down on 15Apr43 (he listed a time of 19:00?) one of the two P-39's flown by St.Lt M. Petrov and Serz. Bezbabnov of the 45 IAP (100 GIAP). No location and the time 19:00 seems to be way off from the German times. He also gave two other P-39's same unit shot down at 13:00. Tony Wood's list has the following. Hartmann 15:33 85192 Mato Dukovac 15/JG52 14:50 Krimskaya Josef Zwernemann III/JG52 12:52 85753 Lt. Wolf Ettel 4/JG3 15:30 86834 Lt Hans Reiff 8/JG3 14:48 3km SE of Neledshskaya Lt. Helmut Haberda 5/JG52 uk hrs 85152 Is Hartmann's one of these? And was this a overclaim day for P-39's? |
