Re: 8./JG 52 over Constanca 23 VI 1941?
The 23rd June, at dawn, 10 Soviet bombers bombed Konstanza and the airfield of Mamaia. An isolated Romanian pilot, Lt. av. Horia Agarici, claimed 3 shot down (and became the hero of of song... the story is well known). A new attack was launched in the afternoon.
According to my source ("La chasse de jour allemande en Roumanie" (German day fighters in Romania), by Mombeek and Roba), they were no claims by the Luftwaffe this day. The book says that the 24th 8 Soviet bombers were claimed by German and 4 by Rumanian fighters, 5 more wer claimed on the 25th and Rall led his Staffel to intercept bombers at sea at dawn on the 26th, after arriving the evening before, and slaugthered a bomber formation (as for victories number, the book just said 83/JG 52 claimed 45 in 2 days).
