Re: Oesau's victories in Spain
Hello,
From Robert Jackson's Messerschmitt Bf-109 A-D series. Aircraft Date I-15 15.7.1938 I-15 17.7.1938 I-16 18.7.1938 I-15 20.7.1938 SB-2 27.7.1938 I-15 15.8.1938 I-16 20.8.1938 I-16 15.10.1938 I-16 3.11.1938 116 more victories in World War II, 72 Western Front, 44 Eastern Front, total 125. Killed in action Once that written, what's the truth? For instance it could not be both I-16 and I-15 for the sole claim on the 18/07/36. What are saying original archives? |

Re: Oesau's victories in Spain
Many Souffan has Oesau's Legion Condor diary and has the most accurate list (well, straight from Oesau's pen, that is, so take that where ya wanna). I suggest contacting him for it.
