Ju52 6305 lost 29/10/41

Hi guys

I have a note that Ju52 6305 was shot down over the Med on 29/10/41.
Can anyone properly identify this and provide further details? Unit? Crew?

I also have a note that a Ju52, possibly from the same unit, was severely damaged or shot down on 20/10/41. Similarly, any information?

Cheers
Brian
