Oblt Johann Stollnberger shot down July 1943?
 

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone has further information (Aircraft/Wnr) etc for Oblt Stollnberger who was shot down over Russia in July 1943.

In July 1943 as Staffelkapitan of 6./ Sch. G. 1. By now his unit had converted from its Emils to Focke-Wulf 190 Antons under Alfred Druschel. During the battle Stollnberger was shot down by Soviet anti-aircraft guns and spent four days evading capture behind enemy lines before crossing the Don river at night and reaching German lines.

Regards

There is no mention of this in Buchner 'Stormbird' - as far as I remember.
Also, if it is true, the river should be Donets rather than Don.
