Who shot down German aces (Sattig, Bauer, Lescher, Macher) on 10 August 1942?
Hi, everybody:
I noticed that on 10 August 1942 occurred a rare feature - 4 German experten were shot down by Soviet fighters. Those aces were: * Carl Sattig, 56 victories, Staffelkapitan of 6./JG 54, was downed and captured near Rzhev (probably by 485 IAP Hurricane pilot Georgiy Zimin? I need to corroborate whether this is correct or not). * Viktor Bauer, 106 victories, Staffelkapitan of 9./JG 3, was shot down during the early stages of the Battle of Stalingrad. Bauer was so heavily injured, that was unfitted for flying again. * Helmut Macher, 23 victories, I./JG 53, downed and killed, also in the early stages of the Battle of Stalingrad. * Heinrich Leschert , also 23 victories, 3./JG 53 (downed and killed by debris of the MiG-3 he was shoting at?), also in the Battle of Stalingrad. It might be possible to determine who was the victors of these experten? Furthermore the possibility that Sattig's defeater had been Georgiy Zimin (I am not fully sure) I found the following claims for Bf.109 kills in the Stalingrad area that day: * Mikhail P. Nekrasov (Yak-1, 148 IAP/269 IAD) * Ivan A. Pishkan (Yak-1, 6 IAP/269 IAD) Were there other claiminants that day? Could be determined if any of them shot down any of these German aces? Kind regards, Diego |
