He 111 loss 3. 12. 1942 Russian Front
 

Hi, all Luftwaffe Experten,

Does anybody have, please, information regarding this He111 from unit unknown for me?
Machine loaded by ammo and flown by Uffz. (?) Walter Blaha, taking off on 3. 12. 1942 from Rostov and simply dissappeared. According some sources he landed near Meschet, Turkey.
Which Kampfgeschwader, or Transportgeschwader or KG z.b.V. did it belong to? Which W.Nr., codes, crew names. I´m also looking for fates of members of crew.

Kind regards and thanks in advance

Hello Jiri,

As the pilot jump-out nd returned safe, nd that the loss of the plane has been observed by pres. by-flying planes , hard to believe to a landing in Turkey, maybe he crashed there ?? From where are coming your data ??
