Thanks Nokose, Nowotny, Stotz, Lang and others seem to have been allowed a lot of claims without a serious attempt at confirmation. (I am also suspicious of two dogfights where Weiss makes multiple claims but no other pilots. 22 November is one of these). However it may be that the Weiss/Christoph claims at 0800+ fit the facts better than the later claims of Nowotny at around 1200, and Rademacher and Jauer which are several hours later at 1515? It would seem that Nowotny is very unlikely to under-claim

best regards
