Horrido!

Indeed a mystery looking at the sources available to me.
In the old JG 1/11 vol 3, J Prien claims Zick was heavily wounded on the 18th while with
10./JG 11 and after that stayed out of the war.
No claims listed on the 20th at all.
In Luftwaffe Aces vol 4, J Mathews/J Foreman says Zick claimed
20 victories, was wounded on the 18th and, yes, claimed a
La-5 on the 20th while with
8./JG 11.
Quite a few differences....seems only what happened on the 18th is the same...
