My notes:
The damage to the engines Into the 17 U5+KP could be caused by shell fragments 40 mm anti-aircraft shell fired batteries.
Kill machinery commander Krochmanna can be attributed to 81. battery, because in this space have not been other Polish anti-aircraft units. Damage to other aircraft 5. and 6. the squadron could cause both the firing battery, firing from light weapons units 20. infantry division or 8. infantry division.
Shoot To 17 in the period 04.09.1939-12.09.1939 cannot be without the knowledge of the time and place to determine. 04.09.1939, however, was not in the area of activity of the battery lost no bomber In the 17..
