Re: Junkers Ju-53 Wreck near Odessa, the Black Sea port in southern Ukraine ?

The name in the sword-belt is not Koch, but Kroh. The following is the aircraft found in the Sea:

1942-01-13, 4./KGr.z.b.V. 104, Ju 52/3mg4e, 6857, G6+GW, (Targsorul-Nou), Unbekannt. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Lt Ringel, Horst, vermißt
Beobachter Oberstlt Frhr. von Jena, Axel (Gruppenkommandeur), vermißt
Bordfunker Ofw Möller, Wilhelm, vermißt
Bordmechaniker Ofw Volkmann, Alfred, vermißt
Bordmechaniker Ofw Wichert, Johann (Urlauber). vermißt
Fluggast Uffz Krebs, Emil (Werw.-Uffz), vermißt
Fluggast Ogfr Kroh, Karl (Fernsprecher von Fl.H.Kdtr. E 19/XII.), vermißt
Fluggast Hptm Mack, Karl (Urlauber und Komp.-Chef von Ln.-Stelle), vermißt
Fluggast Owm Zink (Urlauber von Flak.), vermißt

Because the aircraft has disappeared without any trace, location (Targsorul-Nou) is given as the destination of the flight.
