9 December 1943 - YAK 1 loss (Lipfert's 74th victory)

[kirche]

Adriano, good afternoon.
If I correctly remember the description of this battle and the description of events as a whole, it was in the last days of jumping-off place on Eltingen - namely, December 5, 1943. This description suits his 71 claim (P-39).
12/05/1943 6./JG 52 Lt Lipfert Helmut - Kossa Tusla - 10.23 (Boden) - P-39

According to one version, on December 5, 1943, Lipfert shot down (or finished off already damaged) the airplane of squadron commander 66 IAP 329 IAD Pavel Mikhailovich Kamozin (in the future twice Hero of the Soviet Union)
Also:
12/05/1943 6./JG 52 Fw Otten Karl-Heinz - südwestlich Eltigen - 10.10 (50 m) - P-39 (9th)
12/05/1943 4./JG 52 Fw Ellendt Hans - raum Kossa Tusla - 10.20 (200 m) - P-39 (48th)

Perhaps the "newbie" that prevented Lippert in battle was just Otten or Ellendt ?

Best regards,
Kirill
