7.07.41 and claims/victories of JG 54?

[Nick Hector]

Rob, Mirek,

Have a look at the claims timed between about 1530 and 1600. I think those pertain to the 35 SBAP losses because they are the most numerous.

I know that's a fairly weak argument but if you compare the timings of the different pilots' claims you come up with...
A couple of claims around 7am, the same an hour later, similar around 1030 - all of which seem too few to match with 35 SBAP's losses.
Then you have a whole swag in the 1530-1600 "timeslot" as mentioned above.

The other possibility is the evening raid from 1855 onward, but at that time they were claiming DB-3s and having just enough faith in the Jagdflieger's aircraft identification skills, I would say all the SBs mentioned around 1530-
