P-47 Actions 29 Mar 44 near Berlin

[Eagle0025]

Hello all,

I recently received additional information regarding this particular action. Oblt. KarlHeinz Dietsche, Staffelkapitaen of 2./JG302 was flying Bf109G-6, Werknummer 440160, when he was shot down. He told his son that he was not sure if his opponent was a P-51 or P-47, but believes it was a P-47 because it gained on him in a dive at a much greater rate of speed than his own. It looks like the engagement took place near Magdeburg. He told told his son that he was shot down near Stendal, but he went into the hospital of Jüterbog. Not having a detailed map of the area, does this correspond to any known claims information (P-51 or P-47) for 29 Mar 44? Thanks, Vielen Dank, and Merci beaucoup for any help.

Cheers, Gary Koch
