Horst Ademeit 18/09/1940
Hello Markus
Prien lists his first victory claim on 23 June 1941 as a SB-2 at 10:13 over Pl.Qu. 2525. However, he was shot down on 18 September 1940 as follows: Feldwebel Horst Ademeit of 1./JG 54 crashed in sea in Bf 109 E-1 (W.Nr. 6220) following aerial combat, 100% I would go with the Prien information as these are the most recent results of a quite distinguished team of researchers. Horrido! Leo |

Hi
The victory was in the papers from Alois Riebl from the Stab I/JG 54. The victory was never confirmed, no other member from the 1.Staffel saw Ademeits victory. Greetings Christian |
