Paul Galland and his claims
Hello
By studying the fights of 06/7/41 (who shot down who?),I "fell" on Paul Galland's claims and the distribution of these. D.Caldwell(JG26 Diary) and J.Prien(JFV #5 and #7) are in total contradiction on the dates. I have some experience of contradictions,according to the sources(even serious),but then,CHAMPION!certainly one of the "BEST"!! The two agree for 17 "Abschusse" (Phew!!),but what a "circus"! for the dates! According Caldwell: (1.) 06/07/41=Spit (2.) 04/09/41=Spit (3.) 17/09/41=Spit (4.) 12/02/42=Swordfish (5.) 10/04/42=Spit (6.) 24/04/42=Spit (7.) 25/04/42=Spit (8.) 26/04/42=Spit (9.) 01/05/42=Spit (10.) 03/05/42=Spit (11.) 01/06/42=Spit (12.) 29/06/42=Spit (13.) 30/07/42=Spit (14.) 30/07/42=Spit (15.) 19/08/42=Spit (16.) 27/08/42=Spit (17.) 31/10/42=Boston According to Prien and Co: (1.) 04/09/41=Spit (2.) 12/02/42=Swordfish (3.) 12/02/42=Swordfish (4.) 12/02/42=Swordfish (5.) 12/02/42=Swordfish (6.) 10/04/42=Spit (7.) 24/04/42=Spit (8.) 25/04/42=Spit (9.) 26/04/42=Spit (10.) 01/05/42=Spit (11.)01/06/42=Spit (12.) 29/06/42=Spit (13.) 19/08/42=Spit (14.) 27/08/42=Spit (15.) 29/08/42=Spit (16.) 29/08/42=Spit (17.) 31/10/42=Spit It's not "very serious" and I'm "losing my latin"!How to do serious research? with this.
