Thanks for the info, indeed this is more or less in line with my material
and addressing closer my questions . Few remarks , the JU-87 pilot KIA
was with II./SG-2 eventhough the group was resting .As into JG-54 I am
puzzled regarding the records , because according my stuff only IV./JG54
was in Romania unit which arrived in April with only few operational
aircrafts and was stationed at Mamaia at the Black Sea .

Alone JG 52 claimed 18 victories out of which a Boston and a IL-2
though not listed by the Russians neither I can locate them.

5./SG 10 claimed a IL-2 and Stab III./SG 2 claimed a P-39
I could not locate them either .

Most of the Rumanian fighters were dispatched to defend Romania
against 15th AF though I suspect that some of their assets may
have been as well in the area. I can't find any of thier losses on that
day.

The Russian operational records also show 4 German HE-111's shot down
out of which one rammed by a Soviet fighter, which again was as
misleading as rest of their fighter claims. The Soviets also lost two
HSU recepients , a woman pilot , in total 12 pilots against one
Luftwaffe JU-87 loss .

The area of operation was Grigoriopol though not far from there at
Cosnita, Dubosari ,Pererita and Serpeni intensive fights were recorded.

Cheers ,
