Ju 87 losses on 30 Dec 1942
 

Trying to determine if there were any Ju 87 lost in the area of Velikiye Luki on the 30 Dec 1942. They were possibly under escort of III./JG 54. I've found that Lt. Ivan Evdokimovich Komarov of 271 IAP claimed a 1/2 of a Ju 87 at Velikiye Luki but no idea on who claimed the other half. Lt. Pavel Ignat'evich Murav'ev of the 271 IAP (later the 64 GIAP) claimed his 3rd personal victory at Gushchino (W of Velikiye Luki). Also looking for a time of any losses if available.

Thanks Matti! So were these from ground fire or from the aerial fire? Murav'ev's and Komarov's 1/4 share each of a Bf 109 was not valid. They listed west of Telezhikovo (to the SW of Velikiye Luki).
