Ries book do not have a matching entry for 1.10.1936... Only crash with Ju52/3m with casualities over 6 is 22.02.1937 a machine from Blindflugschule Celle coded 07+B40 (seven killed) at Baarsen near Bad Pyrmont



Which crash Stemmer mentioned?



The book on the Fw 58 will never be written by me. Hope someone in future goes agead with this project.

Olá Sérgio!

Stemmer mentioned this crash on the 22 Feb 1937. Do you happen to have the names of the seven killed and the werknummer of this machine. Do not know if the entry for this accident do inform the time of the accident and the weather....was it a malfunction of the machine, or the weather (disorientation) the probable cause of the accident?

I shall recount the coffins, but for me it seemed to be 6....not 7....and I need to put the front Hangar photo here too....have had not too much time for that recently. Maybe tomorrow.

Here the promissed photos. Hope it will pass through

I believe that the first photo (Halle-4) is NOT related to the burial of the 6 airmen on photos 2 and 3, where we can read ALLE-1 and taffel-1, possibly related to HALLE-1 and Staffel-1, where the cerimony ocurred.

The crash Stemmer mentions is the one I listed above. Listing on Ries book do not mentions names for the crashes. The text is: 22 February 1937. Ju 52 07+B40 Blindflugschule Celle. During nocturnal blind-flying mission upon approaching Celle instructor orders leaving safety altitude too soon, neglecting bearings and aircraft hits barn in Baarsen near Bad Pyrmont with full speed. Seven killed, one aircraft destroyed.

I presume you mean the Dornier 11 visible in photo 3?
