There is little respect for copyright online. I have seen too many photos of various subjects reposted without permission from the rights holder, and written text just copied without regard to the original author's right to determine who can copy his work. I suggest that photos and text without proper attribution should not be used. Any such use should carry a copyright notice identifying the person or entity who holds the rights or the use of "Reprinted with permission of ____."

Andrew happy 2025 and I suspected this was there without your permission or acknowledgment. The list of claims came from Hans Ring many moons ago by the way. Most combats were with aircraft damaged by this unit, the only names according to him were:


21 Jun 42: Sunderland destroyed Whitley damaged by Ofw D.....(10 Sqn & 58 Sqn)
12 Jul 42: Whitley of 51 Sqn by Jost
14 Jul 42: Catalina 119 Sqn by Hptm Werner Techam
30 Jul 42: Sunderland of 10 Sqn by Techam
18 Aug 42: Wellington 311 Sqn by Jost but credited to Stolle of 8./JG 2


The Whitley on 13 Aug 42 was credited to a Bf 110 according to him. There was also a claim for a Whitley 450km west of Bordeaux on 17 Aug 42 but this was by a Fw 200 and the aircraft was from 58 Sqn
