Hello.

I look for some infos about a Me 110 claimed by a French pilot of Normandie squadron on 15 may 1943 in the aera Miliatino-Cininka (?)

By advance Thank you.

I have a couple of ZG 1 machines for the 16th, but nothing in the East for 15-May.

Hello,

As Google Maps does not show any reference to Miliatino nor Cininka, perhaps you could give us at least the country where this French pilot has claimed this Bf110.

In my database of Bf110's (8564 records) I have several hits on 14 and 15th May 1943 but none slightly resembles those locations mentioned in your posting but the Germans might have recorded it under another name.

All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis

Hello Tenelm & Marcel

It is really on the 15th may 1943 around the aera Spass-Demiansk (400-500km S-W of Moscow) the Me 110 was shot down (the attack began over the village of Cininka). The French Pilot went to 800 meters of the frontline to bring back something from the wreck for the confirmation of his victory.

Thank you again for your help.
