[Evgeny Velichko]

Thank You very much for reply!

1. Uffz. Heinz Robatowski, bortfunker of Uffz. Christian Böhme from 5./ZG 1, claimed P-51 at 10.05 in EM 5: 6.500 m. [Rohr i. Gebirge]. Theyr Bf110G-2 2N+TN W.Nr. 5512 was engaged by P-51, and following fight pilot Uffz. Böhme killed, Uffz. Robatowski wounded and bailed out.

2. Uffz. Urban from 6./ZG1 claimed P-51 at 10.14 in DM-8: 6.000 m. [S.E. St. Pölten]

3. Obfhr. Hartmann claimed from 4./ZG1 claimed B-24 at 10.13 and then P-51 at 10.25 in DM-6: 5.000 m. [30 km. W. Wien];

As for me, I suppose 1/Lt. Charles Gross was damaged/shot up following an attack on 3rd Bf110, wich was 2N+TN. And Robatowski was that who bring Gros down (as Robatowski was expirienced gunner, shot up P-40 close to Sevastopol on 6 may 1944).

Was Capt. Samuel Brown damaged by Bf110? If yes, together with 2/Lt. Ralph Mansberger they were victims of Uffz. Urban and Obfhr. Hartmann ...

Anyway, this fight cost much for II./ZG1:
10 pilots were killed, more 2 were injured...
7 bortfunkers were killed, more 5 - injured...
