Re: 17.12.1943 IV./JG 27
Hi,
according to "249 at War" by Brian Cull pp 176 249 did not make any claims on this day! The 2 109's claimed initially were by 2 pilots from 1435 Squadron and seem probably to have been Lt.Holgar Lumerding in Bf.109G-2 (14188) and Fhr.Friedrich Thiel in Bf.109G-6 (140248) both of 10/JG27 both who were lost over Cape Rodoni. A further 2 more 109's were claimed by1435 Squadron pilots shortly after this action. Also on this date 3 more JG27 pilotts were lost :- Hpt Joachim Kirschner of Stab.IV/JG27 Lt.Rolf Hiessler of II/JG27 Uffz.Rolf Andre of I/JG27 however these 3 were noted as lost over the Balkans and were likely the victims of the 57th FG Cheers Bruce Lander |
