Looking for info on a crashed Ju52 in Romania 1941
 

Unfortunately i don't have many details, all i know is that it crashed on 21 april 1941 due to weather conditions near the Apuseni Mountains, near Brad, killing 18 paratroopers and crew.

Any help would be appreciated !

Here is a picture of their funeral, 2 of the paratroopers survived by managing to open their chutes after a 2000 m freefall, and they can be seen in front of the group.

They were buried in Deva, Romania.

I am interested in this topic. I can say with certainty that soldiers remember in previous posts buried in Orastie personally saw their graves. Today the site is a memorial tombs engraved names.
Like I said I'm interested in the subject, also during funeral picture, if possible I would like to purchase or if you kindly give me a copy I would be grateful.
Also I'm interested in any information about this topic: reports, documents, images, articles, books, etc..
I look forward
thanks
