Prinz zu Sayn-Wittgenstein's mysteries
Something puzzling about this well-known photograph.
It shows 29 "kills", 5 of them against Soviet planes. But... According to published lists of victories (Tony Wood), when he left the Western front, Sayn-W. had already 32 victories. Why only 24 painted on the fin? With two victories in the same night, he jumped from 4 to 6 victories on the Eastern front. Why 5? He reportedly bagged 7 kills in the night of 24/25 July 1943 (Obermaier says 20 July) but none of them appear in the same lists. Thanks in advance. Chris |
