identification of the Normandy-Niemen victories : overclaiming my friend!

[Franek Grabowski]

The case of CJE was a bit different as he put in doubt the number of victories officially credited to Clostermann. This had nothing to overclaim.
As long as there is no accusation of fraud on part of NN pilots, there should be no legal problems resulting from an attempt to match credited victories to actual recorded losses. That said there is always a marigin of error in such attempts, especially given how incomplete German records are. Otherwise ideal would be to identify German units involved and provide their after action reports, regardless if there were losses or not.
