Too old entry for contemporary state of research. Looks like Evgeny give to Schaschke all soviet losses. But for example 13.7.41 over Schongui there were at least 2 claims by Carganico (2 I-16). Same for 4.8.41 - 6 claims for LaGG and 3 shot down in reality. 2 plane 4.7.41 (Ishakov and Gromov) crushed via technical problems and not in battle.

Seems as if only Thierfelder might have scored more daytime kills in the Bf 110 than Eduard Tratt. But a full kill list seems impossible to procure. Why are the Zerstörer kills less well documented than the Jagdflieger kills ?
