Take Berlin time and +2 hours - You will have Moskow time.

Rall's claim is 100% confirmed. Many russian historyans say this.

BTW: Is it possible to let herr Rall know about personality of a pilot who died from his fire?

Fadeev's P-39 took hits, and he was heavy injured. He was able to make emerj.landing in swamp, but died from wounds before get medical help.

Book on P-39 on East front, some info about Fadeev included.

He flew from 08.1941 to spring of 1942 on I-16, then - from 05.42 to 05.43 - in 16 GvIAP in Yak-1 and P-39. He had 17 + 3 (shared) victories. All exept 2 (Ju88 and Ju87) are Bf109's.
