At this stage, I know this seemingly applies to the Bf109s claimed on 14 March 1945 and the Ju88 claimed on 5 April 1945.

If he either requested or prepared that letter, was he perhaps looking to address or pre-empt questioning of his record?

As for claims, his book's (vividly depicted) episode where on patrol over Remagen he pursues an Me 262 seems to correspond to nothing in the records of 122 Wing, his Squadron or Luftwaffenkommado West.
