Lipfert and Barnickel 7th March, 1943

Andrey, I have noticed that the GVF civilian pilots don't always show up in the OBD. I saw a Russian website (which I don't have at this time) listed civilian pilots killed and missing but it only provided the month and year with their names. Wouldn't those aircraft be outside the scope of the 4 and 5 VA?

Civil aviation (GVF) front units were within air armies, at least in 1943.

Gentlemen,

A big thanks for your assistance on this one, especially Nikita with his info on the 46 GNBAP losses.

Also, Nikita, I eagerly await the release of your Stalingrad book
