My note:
Kill machinery commander Krochmanna can be attributed to the account of the Polish 81. motorized anti-aircraft battery, type B, because in this space have not been other Polish anti-aircraft units. Damage to other aircraft 5. the squadron could cause both the firing battery, firing from light weapons units 20. infantry division or 8. infantry division..
