Lt. Anton Resch claims on 30May44

[Hanseat]

Hi Nokose,
i have no After Action Reports in my books für this date. But i have the
following informations for you:

Resch 12th kill: 11h25 P-39 PQ78642
Resch 13th kill: 11h36 P-39 PQ78474

Lt. Walther 4th kill 11h35 P-39 PQ78474(3./JG52)
Lt. Schall 55th kill 11h36 P-39 PQ78821(possibly an IL-2/3./JG52)

For the II/JG 52 i have no kills on that time

and for the III/JG52 i have no informations

I hope this will help you

I’m confused!

From my understanding of the above

30May44
JG52
?Staffel/I Gruppe/JG52 shoots down 5 of 6 Aircobras from 16 GIAP of VVS with 8 possible claimants.

Resch 12th kill: 11h25 P-39 PQ78642
Resch 13th kill: 11h36 P-39 PQ78474

Lt. Walther 4th kill 11h35 P-39 PQ78474(3./JG52)
Lt. Schall 55th kill 11h36 P-39 PQ78821(possibly an IL-2/3./JG52) but in addition:

Willi Batz claims four.

However it is also indicated that Resch made his claims on 31May44.

Checking Wood’s list did not clarify much. i.e. on 31May44 Batz makes FIVE not FOUR claims btw 11:17 – 11:39

Any clarification would be appreciated

Thanks,

Rob Romero
