Ju 87 Panzerjäger
 

Some time ago (2012 maybe) a notepad was sold on ebay with notices of person somehow connected to Versuchsstaffel für Panzerbekämpfung, possibly from Rechlin.

Among other things there is also a listing of what seem to be Ju 87 Gs of Panzerjagdstaffel Stuka 1. They are listed by the letters A to H and X, Y, Z.
Aircraft 'B' is listed as lost on 14.7.43 (Notlandung mit Überschlag, gesprengt) and there is corresponding loss known (Werk-Nr. 131082).
However the a/c with letters 'A' and 'G' are also listed as lost on the ground on 20.7.43 at Orel (Jagdbeschuss und Bombe, ausgeschlachtet). I cannot find corresponding losses for Stuka 1. Maybe they were listed as losses of some non-combat unit before officially accepted by Stuka 1?

Any thoughts?

BTW there is one aircraft listed as Hptm. Rudel's with letter 'D'.

Hello Pawel,

I have the following fragments:

10th (Pz.) SG2, Eastern front, 1945
10th (Pz.) SG2, Husi (Slovakia), 1944
III/SG2, Oberst Hans Ulrich Rudel, Hungary, September 1944

Best,
Ed

Minor correction: Husi is in Moldavia (Rumania).

Thank you, Dénes.

It appears that 10.(Pz)/SG 3 also adds to the picture.
