You know Erich, often I hear you say something like that. You sure know a lot of veterans! Especially Germans.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Not to mention that there was snow and cloud cover all over the area where these clashes took place - and nobody wants to trust a fighter pilots' navigation skills (or 60 year old memory)100%..

Pretty much have to depend on crash site reports in a lot of cases - and the Germans were nots nearly as meticulous in keeping those records in 1945.
