    I found some confirmations about Freytag's tally: 1st official victory: third week of July 1941, a Mig 3, same for his second one. At the end of July, had 5 victories, with three I16 to add. Ace in two weeks, after two years in the Luftwaffe! 20 victories in October, 26 victories in November...

    Great work Glenn! Great to see S Freytag's aircraft "for real" at last, since I never saw any pic of them! I too prefer the second one, even though it's only a question of taste, I guess, until we find more accurate information! I read the yellow undernose was an identification mark for...

    FalkeEins, I just visited your blog, what a great job! Beau boulot (as they say in Air France!) i thought I'd give you pics of some models, but seeing yours I understand i'd better work a little more before!:rolleyes: Unfortunately, not that much pics of Freytag and his aircraft. I know...

    Of course it helps! I'm sure Jochen Prien's books are the most credible source, I'm trying to find used issues in order to buy them. This victory in Norway was supposed to be a Hudson, the T9377 of the 233rd RAF sqdn, missing october the 31st, 1940. "10 miles west of Ogne the 1600 ton...

    Yes, it could be great to find out, but trouble is we are not sure of the exact days, as usual... It could have been the 25, the 26 for Freytag...Or another pilot, since we do not have the names, only the type of aircraft, and geographical indications aren't that clear ("off Comiso"...). We do...

    Dear Wayne I must admit I still have a problem with the rudder, and the tally of Freytag at the end of his russian campaign... A lot of sources (including yourself, and you convinced me) said that Freytag had 57 victories at the time. One of this victory is supposed to have been scored in...

    Another great prfile, though...? i'll take it, and look for some 109G model in 1/48 to try it! It seems that Siegfried Freytag was shot down on July the 27th 1942 over Malta, and the story said he was rescued by a Do24 close to the Valetta harbor, under the nose of english rescue boats...This...

    Thanks Wayne for those corrections and answer! I had no data for those last victories in june 42, I have only the 53rd... And since the 2 spitfires he claimed before July the 10th weren't confirmed, it confirms your numbers! I noticed you're from Adelaide, very nice place! i'm surfing a bit...

    And I forgot about asking if somebody still has a copy of "fighters over Tunisia", of Christopher F. Shores and Hans Ring. There is a pic of Mr Freytag in this book, maybe with stab II/JG77 aircraft in Tunisia...I have lost my own copy, and understood there is no more available...

    Hi to everybody. I'm new on the forum, but very happy to see a thread about Mr Freytag! I'd add some remarks, and hope for corrections if I'm wrong! Mr Freytag is supposed to have scored 55 victories when he became staffelkapitan of the 1/JG 77 in july 42. He obtained the knight's cross in the...
