Gentlemen,

May I hereby relay Reply #14 of What do you know about Baron Kiyotake Shigeno? (http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/sh...t=26225&page=2)

Quote:

Guten Tag meine Herren!

Are there any German combat reports, victory claims, or “memos” confirming:

1. Oberleutnant zur See Gotthard von Sachsenberg’s victory against Baron Kiyotake Shigeno?
2. Baron Kiyotake Shigeno's “unconfirmed” victories?

Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe!

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Tsuru

Best Regards,
Tsuru

Hi,

Do you know the date for the Sachsenberg victory?

Hi Regulus,

Thanks for your question!

I suspect the date was August 9th, 1917…

On this date, Shigeno was wounded during a combat but managed to land safely (Source referenced here below) and von Sachsenberg's records show a victory against a SPAD VII, Northeast of Lampernisse ( http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/ger...chsenberg.html )

Best Regards,
Tsuru
