Do these volumes pronounce the one an only JG300 top ace ?

Horrido!

Good evening Leo,

damaged ? Do you mean HSS ?

Cheers from Switzerland,

Hi Michael

Could be Walter Dahl, need to establish with what unit/units he was flying with in 1945, as General of the fighters he claims many "Kills" by simply it would appear turning up at a unit, sometimes it was EJG 2 where he flew the Me262, other times his witnesses suggest Stab./JG 300 or JG 301. I am sceptical he states "132" victories in his 1964 book(of which twelve would appear not to have been confirmed) however his 1945 claims come from his Leistungsbuch, which "HE" could simply have made-up between 1945 and 1964. His witnesses were a Leutnant Meyer, Werner Bohnenkamp and Kurt Loos. I have simply listed the unit for them as General der flieger !, there are forty-six of them, plus twelve the mikrofilms confirm for 1944.

Otherwise Rudolf Zwesken is your man, but he is rather a vague figure, even his death usually stated as suicide, but he could well have been murdered after his release by U.S soldiers at a bar, and it being covered-up. He may well have made many more than the twenty-one confirmed claims I have for him i.e mikrofilms end 01/01/1945.

Kind Regards
