Re: Observations on the victories of the Normandie-Niemen
Hello everyone,
Here is a graph that illustrates Luftwaffe activity observed by Soviet troops. It is noted that according to the general report on the East Prussian offensive, it is noted that the activity of the Luftwaffe is very reduced during the offensive on Gumbinnen. In general, German activity increases over the days of the offensive, while the victories of the Normandie-Niemen decrease. So there is a negative correlation Knowing that there are 8 times more Soviet fighters than German fighters in the area, this cannot be explained by a saturation effect. Logic would dictate in view of the overwhelming superiority of the VVS that the more German planes there were, the more would have been shot down. I will see if this French specificity also applies to the Soviets. ![]() |
