Hs 129 vs Il-2 on 1 February 1943

[Laurent Rizzotti]

Hello,

According to Tony Wood claim list, "Uffz. Lücke" of Pz.Jäger.St./JG 51 claimed an Il-2 shot down in Pl.Qu. 7377 at 300 m at 0950 hrs on 1 February 1943.

AFAIK this was the only air-to-air victory claimed by Pz.Jäger.St./JG 51, that was an Hs 129 Staffel attached to JG 51.

I searched the book Panzerjager by Martin Pegg but this victory is not in the book and there is nothing about a man named Lucke.

I would be interested to know the full name of the pilot, and to have details about this action. To ID of the Soviet opponents will also be interesting, there were not so much actions between Hs 129 and Il-2s.

Thanks in advance

Laurent
