Friedrich Beckh study
Hi everyone.
Currently doing a study/research about Molders's successor av the helm of JG 51, Friedrich Beckh. Many questions arise, specially where was he flying from on a specific date, because the data about his units basing on the ww2.dk site just gives us the official data, but does not take into account those "firefighter" movements they had to do, which makes it difficult to know against which units did he claim against. And then his 1942 claims which don't specify the type of aircraft he clarmed nor the locations of his claims. Does anyone have any more specific data on those claims? The following is the data I have been able to gather until now (for is 1942 claims). This data comesfrom the TsaMO Loss Reports I've been able to find untrl now. Still haven't had the time vo try and search for Combat Reports : (Claim No.27) 11 March 1942 1x unknown (17h23), (Overall , in this area of operations, there was a total of 2 claims, his claim for unknown type and one for a I-26 made during a different mission) [Stab/JG 51 was based at Dugino, so their opponents were either from Kalinin or Western Front units] - So far found : # 692 LBAP, Western Front (U-2) : → * (P) Leytenant Mal'kov, Mia * (Bom/G) ?? → * (P) Mladshiy Leytenant Georgiy Dem'yanovich Barsov, Mia * (Bom/G) ?? → * (P) Starshiy Serzhant Grigoriy Akimovich Didenko, Mia * (Bom/G) ??
