Re: 1939 Victories for JG 53
Many thanks. I supposed these claims were given by C.Shores erroneously (see Fledgling Eagles, Grub Street 1991).
But let me ask you the following two claims for JG 53, which seem to be wrong. 25.9.1939 6./JG 53 Fw. Walter Czikowsky 1 Curtiss s.Bienwald (?) 12.20 The date is apparently wrong (or Bretnütz, maybe Schröde s claim is wrong ?). 30.9.1939 5./JG 53 Uffz. Joachim Hinkeldey 1 Curtiss Merzig (?) 17.10 It is hard to believe Hinkeldey achieved this victory at Merzig, because the II.Gruppe did not operate there not a single day. Surprisingly the same 5.Staffel should be at Weissenburg at the same time and apparently was (see the claim of Olt. Rudolf Goy 17.05). Any comments? Thanks and many regards,
