Re: Seeking ID of Ju87B Crashed near Maastricht during WC of 1940
Pieter,
As requested, I've sent you two photos by direct email of T6+FR showing the 7 Staffel insignia.
Also, we've further updated our EOE DB on T6+LR based upon your comments:
"May 11, 1940: 11 May 1940: 7./StG2 Junkers Ju87B (442). Damaged by No.607 Squadron Hurricanes during attack on roads east of Tirlemont and belly-landed careering into a lane near Farm Dodemont at Schophem, off the Ottegraeven, west of Sint-Martens-Voeren, 4.35 p.m. BF Uffz Franz Kulik killed, pilot unhurt. Aircraft T6+LR 100% write-off. (Photos)"
Peter Cornwell has also adjusted the entry for one of the 10 May 9 Staffel losses listed above:
"10 May 1940: 9./StG2 Junkers Ju87B-1. Collided with Fw Herden during sortie over Vroenhoven and crashed near the Maaseik bridge, near Roosteren, north-west of Maastricht. BF Uffz Erich Unger killed, FF Lt Wilhelm Kaiser baled out injured – later returned. Aircraft 100% write-off."
Thanks for your help and all of you who have contributed so far to this thread. I hope that we can further resolve the questions listed in my previous post.
Regards,
