Re: III/JG2 losses 18 March 1944
Thanks. I was listening to an interview with Don Blakeslee where he recounted a fight he and Capt. Gentile had and was trying to determine who the opposition was; he and Gentile each claimed FW-190s "10 miles south of Augsburg" around 1425. Perhaps Kannegiesser was one of the losses?
