Details on two Abschüsse Einsatzkommando Helsinki 16-17.2.44?
Dear all,
According to Reschke's Jagdgeschwader 301/302, page 42, the Einsatzkommando Helsinki of I./JG302 claimed two victories during the night of 16/17 February 1944 guided by the German Flak-/Jägerleitschiff Togo laying in the Gulf of Finland. Of the 11 pilots from the Einsatzkommando Helsinki, 6 were later awarded the Finnish Flugzeugführerabzeichen (probably after being credited with a victory?): Hptm. Richard Lewens (18.2.44), Ofw. Egbert Jaaks, Ofw. Xaver Neumeier, Ofw. Dieter Rusche (Dietrich Reiche), Uffz. Werner Dienst on 26.2.44 and Hptm. Karl-Heinz Dietsche on 12.5.44. Is it likely that Lewens and Dietsche scored the two victories on 16/17.2.44? Is anything more known about these two Abschüsse? (I failed to find them in the OKL/RLM Absschussfilme). Cheers, Theo
