Something wrong in the info about the loss of the Bf109 (Uffz Kerkhoff) - Kuban 30.Apr.43
Hello friends,
About the loss of the Bf109 w/n 14787 from 4./JG52 (Uffz Ernst Kerkhoff): allegedly damaged in dogfight on 30.Apr.43 and belly landed off Cholmskaja (loss 100%), pilot wounded [but returned]. Something wrong. Cholmskaja was 30 km from the frontline on the Soviet side, so wounded Kerkhoff hadn't a chance to reach the German lines. Also, some Soviet claims were in that area but nothing about the German plane landed on the Soviet side (the facts of the same sort were always mentioned especially). Maybe his Bf109 was damaged in Cholmskaja area but landed somewhere on the German side? Best regards, Andrey |
