The 2nd was strictly a battle of Bf 109s of JG 51 with the Soviet 1 VA and 3 VA. Which gruppe made these attacks is not known as no claims were made during these times.

Kirche is away from home doing work some where else but hopefully he will be able to add more on his return. So I will continue to keep this going with more information until that time.
