B-17 victory by Heinz Girnth-JG-53
Interesting picture on E-bay of a downed B-17 with the letter "A" in white. The victory is credited to Heinz Girnth, 8./JG-53.

Can anyone provide more information on this Abschuss? Also, according to Prien's JG-53 history, he was in (9./JG-53)?

Not much information on his kills. In J. Prien's JG53 history, his first four kills are documented but there is no information on No 5,6, and 7.
