Re: Heinz Bartels trio down on 23rd April 1944

Bartels also claimed three Mustangs east and southeast of Munich, one at Walkraiburg (one 355th pilot confirmed down there) and two others in a norherly axis from there... but on April 24, 1944 in a big battle around Munich.

The 355th and 357th FG lost combined 4 Mustangs (plus two more in mid air collisions with destroyed Me 110's) in this battle in which LW Me 109s claimed 13... theoretically 6 falling to JG27, 2 to JG3, 3 to JG26, one each to JG106, and JG301.

Regards,

Bill

Re: Heinz Bartels trio down on 23rd April 1944

Hello all,

I'm not sure about the 23.04.44, but allready in May 1944 Spitfires were in the area very close to todays Slovenia. There are a few losses of Spitfires in the Bihac-Banja Luka area, and Fw. Richard Sommermann from the 7./JG53 was, for example, shot down over Tivoli on the 23.05.44 by a Spitfire.

regards,
Tomislav
