Heinz Gossow
Hi guys
He appears to generally be credited with 12 victories. Of these, we have records for the seven or eight mentioned in previous posts but as you can see there is some discrepancy if these were confirmed or not. Personally, I seriously doubt he had 50 to 70 claims. Horrido! Leo |

Re: Heinz Gossow
Yes it seems like this 50/70 kills should be considered a hoax.

Re: Heinz Gossow
He flew 409 missions, 340 of them as a bomber pilot ... may it be that somebody mistook his nearly 70 non-bomber-missions for kills and other book authors copied that error ever since ?

Re: Heinz Gossow
In "Chronik Jagdgeschwader 301/302 <<Wilde Sau>>" by Willi Reschke the claims that Johannes found are listed, too, minus the first Lancaster claim on 22Sep1943.
