Unknown loss in Greece
 

Hi all,

Does any one knows more about the following loss in Greece? The pilot was a member of a transport unit.

Re: Unknown loss in Greece
 

Byron: On 15 Sept 1944, the 325th Fighter Group of the 15th Air Force shot down two Ju-52s. I shot one of them down and John Simmons received credit fot the 2nd one. I of course have no way of knowing if one of the pilots was Engelbert Sorg. This was an estimated 20 miles west of Athens.

Good-morning Arthur,

Thank you for this very useful information. I am convinced now, Engelbert Sorg was flying a Ju 52 (likely of Transportgeschwader 4), killed by an American plain and not on the ground of Elefsis by bombs.

regards from Salonika

Matti on death-card is says 1941-07-22 https://www.ebay.de/itm/Sterbebild-D...4AAOSwhpNaxn0o

Re: Memorial card questions
 

Yes, I know. The crash was 21st at 18.10. Maybe he was the only wounded and died in hospital on the next day. Anyway, the NVM says that he died in this accident.

Re: Memorial card questions
 

Ok it was just a heads up. This is for me the first time dates are not the same. Namely deathcard vs Salonen. Thought you would like to know.
