Unknown loss during operation "Froschlaich" 21-22.Apr.1943
Hello!
During the minelaying in Kronstadt bay (Unternehmen Froschlaich) at nights 20/21 and 21/22.Apr.43 at least one bomber from KG1 or KG53 was lost: on the map with location of mines is written that location of 2 BM1000 mines is unknown as the plane crashed ("abgestuerzt"). Can't find relevant loss in GQM returns. Apparently the whole crew MIA so probably the losses are listed in NVM report. Best regards, Andrey |

Does the NVM really contain no information about the case?
Addition to the loss of minelaying bomber: at night 20/21.Apr.43 Kronstadt AAA claimed shot down 2 Ju88 during minelaying; 21/22.Apr.43 two I-16 claimed a He111 damaged near Kronstadtat 22:52 msc = 21:52 MESZ. Just to not start a new topic: At 23:40 msc = 22:40 MESZ 11.Aug.42 (not 1943!) Fi156 made a forced landing between German and Soviet lines S of Leningrad. Crew escaped, the plane was towed to Soviet positions and later carried out to the rear. Mail and a map were founded out. Also can't find the relevant record in GQM loss lists. Fi156 was brand new (production date 29.Jun.42) Best regards, Andrey |
