Horst Adameit's victory 5.5.42

[Nick Hector]

In this instance, did Ademeit shoot down Naval Kapitan Mikhail Yakovlevich Vasilev HSU, OL 2 x ORB and OPW 1st Class of 4 GIAP-KBF who was KIA?

[Nokose]

Adameit claimed a Yak-1 at 18:42 at Leningrad. The 4 GIAP KBF were I believe flying La-5 at that time and Vasil'ev was lost over the Gulf of Finland and I haven't found a mission time. It is possible that he fell to one of the Finnish pilots of the 34th squadron who claimed La-5 on that day

Thanks, Nokose. For the record, I may have read it wrong but the www.allace.ru website seemed to be pointing toward 4 GIAP-KBF still using LaGG-3s until late in 1942.... Would love to know what the case really was.

Nick, try the website " сталинские соколы " between the two sometimes you can get the answer but not always.

Hi Nokose,

I just copy + pasted your reference "сталинские соколы" into my browser's adress line and all it did was cause google to bring up a whole stack of references, the first of which was a youtube clip, the next was a website about Stalin.

Could you please provide the correct URL?

With thanks
Nick

Try www.hranitels.ru .

Thanks again, Nokose.

This time, one more question: which part of the site do I search on? i.e. which button on the homepage should I click on to start....?

Sorry, but Russian is very much my third language....

Hello Nick,

Right click on the page and it should open the translation program, among other things. Click on it -these days they are very good.

Cheers

To the left click полки ввс 1941-45.

Thanks Russell, that was a new one on me....

Nokose - is there any info on the website regarding casualties and who shot down whom? I have been poking around and have found very little of that kind of info...
