Re: Lt. Anton Resch claims on 30May44
Gentleman,
According to documents 30 May, 1944 16 GIAP lost only one Aircobra. The referred case with Rechkalov happened on May 31. However, neither Batz, nor Resch fit this combat. The group lost 5 Aircobras of six (Rechkalov escaped). I presume that different German planes from I/JG52, II/JG52, III/JG52 and maybe II/SG2 can engage this group. The following claims match by time: Ruher and Sachsenberg at 8.40 and 8.45 respectively; Nordmann at 9.00; von Treuberg and Birkenfeld at 8.40 and 8.55 respectively. Very unlikely that it was II/SG2, as claims of Bleckmann and Voigt differ 30-40 minutes from the original report in Soviet documents. Regards. |
