Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 December 1941
 

Hello,

according to recollection of Olt. Paul-Werner Hozzel seven Ju 87Bs (probably Stab and III./StG 2) were lost during transfer flight to Dugino A/F sometimes in December 1941 (probably on December 16 or December 24).

Does somebody have knowledges about exact date and serials and names of crew of missing planes?

Thanks for help

Probably 20 Dec 1941, seven a/c of III./St.G. 2 lost.

Thanks. It seems it could be these planes.

Is known more about these planes - serials, crews, crash-place?

Best

Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 December 1941
 

Hello Michal

Here is what I have with the following notes of caution. The subtypes and werknummern are accurate and there should be no problem with that information. However, the locations and names of the pilots should be treated with caution as it was hard to read the source. I attempted to get as accurate as possible but some locations in particular defeated me and I was unable to make them out. Hopefully, some one else can fill in the gaps and correct the errors which I know exist.

20 December 1941: 8./St.G. 2 Ju 87 R-2 (W.Nr. 6167) belly-landing at Uwarodowka due to bad weather, crew unharmed, 100%, non-combat flight
20 December 1941: 9./St.G. 2 Ju 87 B-1 (W.Nr. 0472) crashed due to freezing near Der(--)ino, Oberfeldwebel Paul Lachmann (F) killed, 100%, non-combat flight
20 December 1941: 8./St.G. 2 Ju 87 B-2 (W.Nr. 5818) crash-landing at L(----)j due to bad weather, Oberleutnant Walter Rotormund (F) killed, Gefreiter Anton Vollenhals (Bf) injured, 100%, non-combat flight
20 December 1941: 8./St.G. 2 Ju 87 R-4 (W.Nr. 6250) crash-landing at L(----)j due to bad weather, Leutnant Mathias Merian (F) killed, Obergefreiter Ewald Henke (Bf) wounded, 100%, non-combat flight

For what it is worth I hope this helps.

Horrido!

Leo

Wonderful! Excellent! Thanks a lot! It is exactly what I needed :)

Re: Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 December 1941
 

Michal, what kind of recollection do you speak about? Is it a book?

Re: Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 December 1941
 

No, it is not book, this is an interrogation (interview) of Hozzel by US officers dated 1978.
