Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)

This German claim is a little more difficult as I have two sources Prien’s JFV 15/I and Tony Woods list for 1944.
Fw Erich Lingnau (TW has Lingenau) Pe-2 (3) 07:05 (TW has 09:03) 25 Ost N/42563

Journal of Combat Operations 221 BAD 01.03.1944 - 31.03.1944 (TsAMO F: 20210, O.: 1 D:43, L: 31 page 13 -17)

29 March 1944
09:52 (M) 5 Pe-2 from 8 GBAP led by Gds St. Lt. Polikanov bombed German artillery in the forest between Aleksandrov and Lisichnik. At 09:56 - 10:03 attacked by German Fw 190s at 1000 m west of Aleksandrov. The Pe-2 of 8 GBAP flown by Guards Leytenant Ilin and crew go down 12 km east of Bykhov. Listed as missing at the time.

There is a two hour difference in the Russian and German time zones. Considering the mistake in Lingnau (or Lingenau) name there is another problem. Tony Woods time of 09:03 is far after the bombing raid and the Pe-2 went down, no attacks occurred during that time. That leaves Prien’s time of 07:05, which puts it in the right time zone of the attack but another problem occurs. I believe that the 07:05 was probably meant to be 07:55. So is this a problem at the paper work level? Still Lingnau is the only one claiming at this time of the Pe-2 raid.
