Re: Important (?) Ju 52 loss 12.07.1943 Sicily
Hi Frank,

I checked the GQM list and found nothing obvious. Looking up Gen Sigfrid Westfal I found nothing but under Gen Siegfried Westphal (1902 - 1982) it showed him as a staff officer under Rommel and Kesseling. So it looks like the Times report may have been speculation.
On what looks like 12-7-1943 Ju52 1324 of III/TG1 is shown as falling to fighters at FI.PL. Catania with two aircrew killed and two wounded, no mentiom of passengers,

Regards
