Seeking winter 1939-40 date when 6./StG2 Ju87B T6+EP ran off runway onto steep hillside near near Petrisberg near Trier Germany
Hello,
There are many photos of a Ju87B that apparently ran off a runway on the top of a steep hill overlooking Petrisberg near Trier Germany, then ran partway down this hill and tipped on its nose with only modest damage. This was after a light snow during the winter of 1939-40. The Stuka was T6+EP and was recovered without apparent serious damage.
I'm trying to put a specific date on this incident, as the a/c is one of our color profile subjects for the EoE Project. This doesn't appear in the LW QM loss lists that I can determine. This a/c has a very early "Felix the Cat" Staffel insignia on the nose.
Who can help?
Regards,
Larry Hickey
EoE Project Coordinator
