Maj.Schnoor=1 B-17...place? time?
Gefr.Marek=1 B-17...place? time?
Fw.Köhne= 1 B-17...place? time?

Thanks in advance

From my claims list - including those from the recent "Jagdfliegerverbande" volume. The first claim for Marek is from the original JG 1/11 and/or Woods list, I think (based on the way he referenced the claims.) It is NOT in the most recent lists - I probably should delete it. There are significant updates in the latest books versus the original published lists - the reference 'Prien/Bock' refers to the latest source. (The field after the aircraft type would be the location, if known, so, for example, for the Piffer claim '-' means unknown or not reported.)

I wonder if those missing claims were just not confirmed. Frankly, I would wish to see a list with such not confirmed claims, as they help to understand the course of events.

With the exeption of the claims of Berger and Martin (precise location,time),identified victims,I have the impression that the "other claims" of I/JG1 were not officially transmitted to the RLM for confirmation.
