Re: Günther Josten 1945 claims
Johannes, What is it that you find "suspect" about the claims? Is it the source. I've tried to determine for years now which unit shot down the 5 "Bostons" of the 57 BAP who made a raid on Stargrad on the 19Feb45.

Re: Günther Josten 1945 claims
Hi
Nothing against Josten, he was an honest claimer, but there are eleven claims listed in a period where there's only room for three!....could be these are assumptions, or just made-up. Kind Regards Johannes |

Re: Günther Josten 1945 claims
Quote:
I believe that the claiming unit may have been III/JG 3. 6 claims by unnamed pilots of III/JG 3 around 1400, and one by Fw. Claussen of 9 Staffel at 1358. Hope that helps... Nick Last edited by Nick Hector; 7th July 2012 at 14:02. Reason: Addin extra detail |
