Re: Bf109 massacre on 30 July 1943
In this area, it is possible that Italian fighters (Bf 109 or Macchi fighters) were involved in this battle and that some were shot down too, even if overclaiming is very, very probable in all cases will still be important in this case.
"Apparently after the war one of the pilots of the 325th found that in fact 30-35 Bf109s had been shot down, and several others damaged. The german unit was apparently new to the theatre and was withdrawn afterwards." As in all other cases I have read about like that of wartime-confirmation or just after the war, it is impossible to confirm it in any other source now available. A whole German Gruppe decimated in just its first fight and withdrawn would not have gone unnoticed.
