Re: Reinhard Heydrich air victories?
Again Mr. Grabowski supply the community with not fully correct data.
First, quite all soviet pilots from the Bykov's book have inconsistences in their accounts. Especially it is very often for the aces, who started in Juny 1941. Sometimes the documents show only 1/3 from public known kills. If we know, that all documents from 55 iap were destroyed during their retreat in 1941, it is not unthinkable that some of Pokryshkin kills were "burnt" too. And may be the higher command instance (division) was not informed about these. Second, in case of Pokryshkin, Bykov&Co violete their own methodology: if they stand to their own rules( see page 13), the account of Pokryshkin looks at least as 53 personal kills as noted in the award record for the 3rd gold star of HSU.
