II/JG52 at Leningrad 06Sep41
While looking at allaces.ru I ran a cross a qoute from the book "The Butchers of Yu.A. The Guardsmen of baltiki of winged" by I.I. Tsapev & V.N. Konev (Delta NB 2006). It listed for the Leningrad area that 7 I-16'a of the 13IAP KBF attempted to flee into the clouds from Bf-109's and were shot down one by one at 18:40 (Moscow). This was the renewed offensive date against Leningrad.
JFV 6/II lists for that date the following. 16:40 Stab II Hptm Erich Woitke I-18 (17) Kjarbusstzi 16:42 4. Oblt Siegfried Simch I-18 (12) 16:43 Stab II Hptm Erich Woitke I-18 (18) 16:47 4. Oblt Johannes Steinhoff I-18 (38) Bahnhof Makowo 16:48 4. Oblt Sigfried Simsch I-18 (13) 16:49 Stab II Oblt Carl Hartmann I-18 (13) 16:50 4. Fw Bernard Gallena I-18 (1) These are the possible victors but the time would have to be factored in using Berlin time. |

Re: II/JG52 at Leningrad 06Sep41
That was a real massacre... .
I wonder on the other hand, how it was possible that other fights 7 vs. 7 ended with "only" one A/C shot down, like the story of 7 hungarian 109 vs. 7 VVS-Yaks in another recent thread... Maybe in th eincedent described here, there was a whole Staffel from JG52 involved and the "clouds" were only one small cloud or whatever... poor pilots. |
