Re: Observations on the victories of the Normandie-Niemen
I am not a specialist but most Soviet aces score are written as N+X, with N as the number of individual victories and X the number of shared victories. So VVS did in my opinion recognize shared victories, but not the same way as the French (for which a victory was a victory, shared or individual did not matter).
But maybe this was not the case in 1944. As for location, I have seen Allied claims over N France being more than 100 km away from real place, so errors over the confuse battlefield of East Prussia can clearly be possible. I would rather believe ground units reports for locations.... but an air battle started at one point could end tens of km away.
