Erich, I mentionned he was assigned to JGr200 while JG27 was reorganizing

The story of the Bracelet is incredible. The poor fisherman was even accused of making it up. But then a passionate diver started looking at the place the fisherman had dropped his nets and he found two wreckages, a P-38 and a German fighter. Then parts of the P-38 were salvages and the serials were checked. The fisherman was right! I think he donated the bracelet to the next of kin or to a museum, I don't remember.
