So using the words “possibly” and “no matching record can be found” seems like were real history has to be constrained too or else.

Dear Gentlemen,

can we agree on the following Joachim Brendel data ?

189 kills
kill #1: 29.6.1941
kill #100: 22.11.1943
all of his kills scored in JG51
91 Bf109 kills and 98 Fw190 kills
likely the top Il-2 destroyer

Hi Michael

Can't comment about the Bf109/Fw190 split, but agree with everything else. In fact Brendel was very,very likely the biggest Il-2 killer.

Kind Regards

Johannes

Have a nice Wednesday,

Michael
