List of aerial victories claimed by Joachim Müncheberg
Joachim Müncheberg (31 December 1918 – 23 March 1943) was a German Luftwaffe fighter pilot during World War II and an ace credited with 135 air victories. The majority of his victories were claimed over the Western Front, with 33 claims over the Eastern Front. Of his 102 aerial victories achieved over the Western Allies, 46 were against Supermarine Spitfire fighters.
List of aerial victories claimed
[edit]According to US historian David T. Zabecki, Müncheberg was credited with 135 aerial victories.[1] His 135 aerial victories were claimed in more than 500 combat missions, 102 on the Western Front[2][3] - including 19 over Malta, one in Yugoslavia and 24 in North Africa[4] - and 33 on the Eastern Front.[3] His tally includes at least 46 Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft shot down. Mathews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces - Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and found documentation for 135 aerial victory claims, plus nine further unconfirmed claims. This number includes 102 on the Western Front and 33 on the Eastern Front.[5]
Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 47591". The Luftwaffe grid map (Jägermeldenetz) covered all of Europe, western Russia, and North Africa. It was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about 360 square miles (930 km2). These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area 3 km × 4 km (1.9 mi × 2.5 mi) in size.[6]
