Re: Identity Red Air Force losses to German night fighters SE Europe 1944?
Theo,
Just to make this story even MORE complicated, the soviet reports usually give Moscow local time, not "action-local time", which eg. in Hungary results a 2 hrs difference between the different reports... So this is an extremely difficult and complex research. But for final conclusion, see part of copy of the soviet mission report of August 10/11, 1944, dealing with the 337 AP DD Mitchell damage & 75 hits (not plane loss!). Interestingly the soviet Mitchell crew identified the German NJG fighter as Do 217. One of the crewmembers (Volodin) was slightly injured in the dogfight with the NJG fighter, but no casualties. "Sanok" was probably the City of "Szolnok" in Hungary. Cheers, Gabor Last edited by HGabor; 7th March 2016 at 18:00. |
