Fury claims over Jugoslavia - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi,

According to Tony Wood's Luftwafe claims list 11 Furys were claimed shot down on 6th April 1941.

There is however a small contradition. In the main list it states that Oblt Erwin Clausen was from 3/JG77. In the supplement section below it, it states that he was from 3/LG2.

Which is correct?

Also what aircraft were LG2 and JG26 flying.

Clausen was from LG 2, but it was subjugated to JG 77 at the time.

If you don't know this site, the following webpage describes the Yugoslav side of these Fury losses:

I./LG 2 replaced the old I./JG 77 (which became IV./JG 51) and was part of JG 77 but it was renamed I./JG 77 much later. The correct designation (in April 1941) was 3./LG 2 but as it later became 3./JG 77 both sources mean the same unit.
