Another JG51 victories question
I did not want to "intrude" on the other very active JG51 victories thread, but here is another angle on the matter:
Danish Luftwaffe pilot Peter Horn is often cited (e.g. Aders/Held, Neulen) to have had 10+ victories and being attached to 1./JG51. Checking Tony Woods lists Combat Claims & Casualties Lists I can trace only one of the listed victories to JG51: "1944-09-19 Gefr. Horn, 9./JG51, Pe-2, 27 615: 3000m, 15.34, C. 2035/II" I would be interested in any information on the origins of the "10+" information given in various secondary sources. TIA Mikkel Plannthin
