Soviet air victory claims on 17.6.1944 over Perkjärvi (Finnish front)?
There is a case when a Soviet fighter pilot achieved a rare "double kill" against Finnish fighters in one combat but probably claimed just one and thus "underclaimed".
With this I mean the case of Finnish Bf 109 G2 nr. MT 227 (flown by Sarjamo, Lelv 24) which was shot down by a La-5 of 159 IAP (?) on 17.6.1944 - the debris of MT-227 fell upon the Bf 109 nr. MT-229 (Nissinen, also Lelv 24) which went down as well and both Finnish pilots were killed. One could argue that MT-229 and Nissinen were also lost due to enemy action of La-5 but did the Soviet pilot know that he made it accidentally "two" on that day? The shooting down of MT-227 occured over Perkjärvi at 6.25 on 17.6.1944 (Finnish records). Any known claims of Soviet fighter units (159 IAP or other) which would fit the by the location, day and clock time? It would be interesting to know the name of Soviet pilot. |
