Hans Hahn/Maximilian Stotz

[Nokose]

12 December 1942
I have looked at the Operational Report of the Staff 6 VA and Journal of the 243 ShAD.
Hauptmann Hans Hahn Stab II/JG 54 claimed an Il-2 (71) 13:58 in Prien’s JFV 9/III it is listed as north of Lake Vershinskoye but on Tony Woods list as PlQu. 29773. Claiming in that same PlQu is Lt Maximilian Stotz 4./JG 54 for a LaGG-3 (111) 13:58 PlQu 29773. The 243 ShAD reported 2 Il-2 made emergency landings, after a dogfight with 6 Bf 109. They came down in Soviet territory at 4 km SE of Berevka. There was no report of another Il-2 being shot down. The 6 VA reported 2 LaGG-3 as shot down and 2 LaGG-3 and a La-5 as missing. II/JG 54 claimed 2 La-5 and Hahn claimed a La-5 (70) 13:56 PlQu 28113 and Fw Walter Heck 5/JG 54 claimed a La-5 (23) 14:00 29781. Not clear which regiment was using the La-5. The report failed to mention the Yak-7B 42 IAP Serzhant Aleksey Kulikov as KIA in a dogfight (listed in the OBD Memorial).
