[Johannes]

Hi Fredo

Curious about the Schneider claim!

With 5th January 1943, only III./Jg2 seems to have claimed, and all were B-17's!:-

7./Jg2 Uffz Wolgang Ortlepp 1134 hrs 5500 metres
7./Jg2 Lt Geprg-Peter Eder 1135 hrs 5500 metres
7./Jg2 Oblt Erich Hohagen 1137 hrs 5500 metres
8./Jg2 Uffz Friedrich May 1305 hrs 100 metres
9./Jg2 Oblt Siegfried Schnell 1142 hrs 6000 metres 10km SW Nazaire
9./Jg2 Ofw Ludwig Friedrich Hartmann 1145 hrs 5000 metres 10km SW Nazaire
9./Jg2 Lt Bruno Eder 1145 hrs 3000 metres
9./Jg2 Oblt Ferdinand Müller 1147 hrs 4000 metres
9./Jg2 Lt Hans Pelzl 1147 hrs 1500 metres A.S.M
9./Jg2 Oblt Siegfried Schnell 1147 hrs 4000 metres
9./Jg2 Fw Karlheinz Munsche 1200 hrs 1500-1000 metres
9./Jg2 Lt Karl Hofer 1201 hrs 1500 metres
Stab.III./Jg2 Oblt Egon Mayer 1132 hrs 6500 metres 4-6km SW Nazaire
Stab.III./Jg2 Lt Ottfried Philipp 1134 hrs 6800 metres
Stab.III./Jg2 Lt Fritz or Franz Rosle 1145 hrs 2000 metres
Stab.III./Jg2 Oblt Egon Mayer 1135 hrs(H.S.S) and Uffz Helmut Mosch(presumably E.V) 5km West of the Loire estuary at 6000 metres. the Staffel claim number is the same for both claims, i.e they claimed the same aircraft. It seems that only Jg2 did this share system on the micro films, there are several such entries!!!

Hope this helps

Kind Regards
