Walter Ohlrogge (5/JG3) and missing claims

[focusfocus]

Hello Johannes

Sorry for the delay
If my informations are correct,the microfilms were made from reconstructed lists of victories already approuved or in the process of being approved.
The originals of these lists were destroyed in a bombing of Berlin in november 1943...So l'OKL asked all units to send to R.d.L.u.Ob.d.L the lisy of victories already approuved or rejected,as well as vivtories not yet approuved before november 43.

These reconstructions involve the risk of omissions and errors compared to a first version,wich in my opinion explains the difference observed between microfilms,flight logs,Luftflotten...

At the end of 1944,the RLM called to order certain units wich had not yet transmitted these reconstituled lists.

Concerning in particular Ohlrogge (and the others) before november 1943,the 12 missing are perhaps explained following these reconstructions...who knows?

Best Regards
Michel
