Re: Hans Philipp 1943
Ok Nick, since you insist... I felt that it was not such a big deal for Robert, or anyone else for that matter, to share the details here on the TOCH on the Polish aircraft Hans Phillip shot down that day, and that it would not affect the EoE project in any way. In short, I supported your view expressed in post No.15, so I was somewhat taken by surprise when you requested additional clarification.
Hope that this clarifies the matter. Regards, Sinisa |

Re: Hans Philipp 1943
Nick, here is an example from allaces.ru. look at the episode for the 12 Jan 1943 involving the six I-16 from the 4 GIAP KBF escorting the two Pe-2 (73 BAP KBF). Those two attacking fighters were Philipps and Reinhardt claiming their Pe-2 (143) and Pe-2 (16) both at 14:05. No losses from the 73 BAP KBF but the claim by 4 GIAP KBF for a Bf 109 was also not valid.

...and yet, here on the board, as a thanks to all who help and have helped me, I never hold back from helping members out by publishing its content from time to time when it is relevant to do so. History belongs to us all and whereas I understand a lot of new info can't always be posted prior to the publication of a particular book or such, making people "wait til it's published" on every single minute skerrick of information is just twaddle. |

Re: Hans Philipp 1943
According to dr Tomasz Kopański and Łukasz Łydżba on the 5th Sept. 1939 Lt. Philipp shot down by mistake Hs 126B from 2.(H)/23 (crew: L. Ernst G. Aschmann and Uffz. Alfred Weissel - both killed). German plane crashed in the forest near Radziechowice, about 5-10 km SW of Radomsko. In his report Philipp claimed victory over "polish high-wing aircraft" (later claimed as PZL P.24) 7 km SW of Radomsko. "Polish" pilot bailed out but his chute failed.
According to witnesses from the ground, German pilot bailed out but he slipped out of the parachute harness and fell on the cemetery in Radziechowice (It coincides with Philipp's report). The second member of the crew was killed earlier and crashed in the cockpit of the plane. Both were buried by the parish priest and Radziechowice residents on the local cemetery, but in 1940 were exhumed. Regards, Artur |

Re: Hans Philipp 1943
I checked once again in new book of Łukasz Łydżba about III/6 Dywizjon Myśliwski (Fighter Squadron). This Hs 126 was shot down on the 3rd of Sept. 1939 by kpr. Zbigniew Urbańczyk from 162. EM.
Previous information came from 2009 article. So, I'm sorry for the confusion. |

Re: Hans Philipp 1943
Here is a problem with the PlQu. in Tony Woods list and the list in Prien's JFV 12/III in trying to determine which is right (Involves Philipp and Reinhardt)
23 Feb 1943 Philipps Yak-1 (173) 08.50 Prien 36 Ost/10512 Woods 00412 Philipps Yak-1 (174) 08.53 Prien 36 Ost/10392 Woods 00392 Philipp Yak-1 (175) 08.55 Prien 36 Ost/10363 Woods 00363 Philipps Yak-1 (176) 08.59 Prien 36 Ost/10334 Woods 00334 Reinhardt Yak-1 (29) 08.57 Prien 36 Ost/10364 Woods 00364 Before this they match and after this they match. So can any of the experts out there provide which one is correct from their flight books. |
