Re: JG 2 Spitfire 15 Feb 1943 Ramsgate
On 15 February 1943 2 Spitfire Vb of 403 Sqn RCAF took off at 1105 hrs for a Rhubarb in the Le Touquet-Gamaches area. Flg Off H A Westhaver was killed when his Spitfire Vb AD231 was shot down by Flak east of Le Treport. The other pilot returned to base at 1205 hrs.
So too early for the claim by Ofw Kleinert.

Re: JG 2 Spitfire 15 Feb 1943 Ramsgate
I was in touch with Kleinert some years ago. He was not an Ofw but an Uffz at the time of his first kill for which he was awarded the EK2 on 24 Feb 43. Strangely, he did not record his memories of his first kill but did have memories for his two B-17s (6 Mar & 1 May 43), being shot down on 16 Aug 43 and the two Mustangs he claimed in 1945
