Warship 46, April 1988, has an article on the sinking of 3 Soviet destroyers by Ju87 of StG 77. "Soviet Destroyers vs the Luftwaffe, 6 October 1943" Author is Pierre Hervieux.

Richard P.S.: Unfortunately no source is given apart from the preamble to the quote "The German Gruppe Leader's report on the first three strikes translates as follows:" |
