Luftwaffe underclaiming ?
Hello everyone,
In the Soviet reports of the 213 Night Bombardment Divisions, for April 8 and 11, 1943 in the sector between Yelnia and Spas Demenks (35 0st-Grosstrapez 35 and 45) report the loss of 1 and 2 U-2s shot down by the Luftwaffe in the Zakharyevshoe sector (coordinate: 33433). But no German pilot claims them? By the way, I can't find polikarpov U-2/UT-2 Po-2 in the "OKL fighter claims" lists. Can someone shed some light for me? |

Courtois,
The ZG units accounted for a lot of the night kills by fighters until NJG units came into play. The pilots of JG 54 in early 1942 accounted for the early night kills. |
