III./Stuka 3, July 1943
 

According to Erhard Jähnert memories 9./Stuka 3 lost entire Führungskette on first operation of 05-Jul-1943, shot down by Flak (and Jähnert claims he was appointed Staffelführer of 9./Stuka 3 after that).

However there seem to be no correspondent losses known or reported (GQM) and Staffelführer Oblt. Niemann was s/d only several days later on 12-Jul-1943.


Any clues?
