Hello Marko,

These are the losses that mention Celje as the crash-location.

19.03.44 Bf 109 G WNr. unbekannt 2./JG77 Fw. Gerhard Staroste, Luftkampf mit P-38 - Absturz, FSA, (bei Cilli/Celje) - 100% rt.?+

24.05.44 Bf 109 G-6 WNr.16x253 10./JG27 Oblt. Ernst-Georg Altnorthoff (verw.), Luftkampf - Absturz, FSA, Neu-Cilli (Celje) / Sachsenfeld - 100%

I have also one loss for the 25.02.44 that could fit

25.02.44 Bf 109 G-6 WNr.162405 Stab I./JG53 Oblt. Horst Torrau (verm.), Luftkampf mit 4-mot - Absturz, FSA, 50km NNW Laibach - 100% TV+KG

The pilot from this loss is still missing. Please have in mind that the loss locations in general over the ex Yugoslav teritory are often very unprecise. The main air battle on the 25.02.44 took place in the Graz-Klagenfurth area, but it can not be excluded that Oblt. Torrau followed the bombers all the way to Celje.

best reagrads,
T
