Hi Norbert,

Thanks for the reply, Matti gave me details on a previous thread of losses on the 26-8-44 which included a Me323 loss by Ploesti ( the Willi Reschke 'Wilde Sau' books claims two 323s shot down by Rumanian forces on the 26th.Aug.) Both the Roba and Dabrowski book infer the losses of 3 Me 323s on the 27-8-44 in the Bucharest area. All I could find from another site is that Capt.Dan Scurtu claimed a Me323 near Buftea on the 26th and next day Lt.Rozarlu claimed another near Bucharest. At one time it was possible to get loss details from WAST in Berlin but I believe this is no longer the case. The 'Axis History Forum' had some details of Me323 losses in Rumania ( dated 31-7-2007) but most of these were ground strafings, it just showed for the period 25-26th.Aug as Me 323s taking part in air evacuation of German troops from Rumania,
