Walter Wolfrum and the mythical YAK-3

[kaki3152]

I've finished translating this small narrative by Walter Wolfrum where he gets shot down by a Russian fighter, in which he is out-turned and has to crash-land later. I believe this happened on June 16,1944

One part of his statement he says "I knew that a Yak-9 cannot turn much tighter curves than I can"

Afterwards General Seidemann told him that he was hallucinating regarding this new Russian fighter. Wolfrum writes: "I wanted to say something, but under the influence of brandy and boiling with rage I brought forth no more than a babbling."

So was Walter shot down by a YAk3 or by a well flown YAK 9 (or YAK1) Any comments welcomed.
