Retreat of Crimea - 09/05/1944 ( JG 52 + SG 2 activities )
Hello to all!
I would like to know, if possible, the JG 52 losses on this day. From the account of Hptm Lipfert on his incredible diary, it seems that the Russians raided the airbase of Khersonyes six times this day. His Staffel ( from his book, pgs. 99 to 107 ) seems to not have taken part on the air battles. However checking Tony Wood´s claims, there were claims submitted by Lt. Sachsenberg.
I would be pleased to hear about JG 52 activities between 11:00hs - 12:20hs on that day. I am particularly interested on the crash of a Bf 109 G during the take off for a mission.
I also read somewhere that SG 2 Immelmann flew that day and that some of his pilots, flying Fw 190 F, shot down at least one IL-2. I found no corroboration of that narrative on Tony Wood´s claims. SG 2 flew that day? Which pilots from this Squadron claimed victories?
Thanks for all specialists on Eastern Front for the help and please forgive me any error.
Sincerely yours
Adriano
