Re: Shoot down of Oblt Dieter Pekrun in Stab I./StG2 Ju87B on May 12, 1940
Doug,
Thanks. I saw this when you originally posted in in 2009. I'm specifically trying to determine what the evidence is that Oblt Pekrun was shot down while piloting a Stuka on May 12, 1940, at Geetbets, Belgium, and survived by bailing out. Since there was a Stuka from Stab I./StG2 lost that day, and Pekrun as Gr Adj. was in the Stab at that time, there is a good possibility that it was him. However, without further sources of information, this is still an open question for the EOE Working Group. This story has to come from somewhere, and Philippe, who is rebuilding the plane from the wreckage, doesn't know where this info originally came from.
