Ofw. Elias Kühlein "killing" a "captured" Bf 109 in late 1944?
I found the following note on a forum: "Offb. [Ofw.] Elias Kuhlein [Kühlein] flew both Bf.109F and Bf.109G while serving with JG51 beginning in July of 1942. Most profiles of this aircraft state he was assigned to 4 Staffel [of JG 51], but at the time he was assigned this aircraft [the famous one, with an eye painted on the "Beule"] in June of 1944 the records I was able to find indicated he was assigned to 7 Staffel.
He flew a total of 600 combat missions and was credited with 36 confirmed kills, including a captured Bf.109 of unknown type on December 11th 1944." What caught my attention was the last sentence, namely that he allegedly "killed" a "captured" Bf 109. Are there any details available about this claim, if true? Many thanks.
