Re: 1944 Toplet, Romania, Ju52 crash near Orsova
Alright- thanks again for the next batch of information from Alex. It all sheds more light on the final day in the life of H.Rosenbaum.
I have the big dilemma now to have 2 conflicting information about the crash site and the plane identifyer:
1a. from Matti, whose primary source is the WAST: (Wehrmachtauskunftsstelle) the plane crash occurred at 9 km nn/w of Toplet (German: Töplitz) at an altitude of 1052m. Indeed there is a one mountain that reaches up to 1070ish meters.
Also the WAST says the identification of the JU52 involved is WerkNr. 501326, PO + GO
Flugzeugführer Ofw Brunnhuber, Georg, +
Bordfunker Ofw Kunkel, Josef, +
Bordwart Uffz Striebing, Willi, verletzt
Uffz Striebing am 1944-05-20 seinen Verletzungen erlegen.
1b. from Alex: it is correct that your primary source is Rudy Klemm?=
the plane crash was 9km n/w of Poletz. Poletz village/town I cannot find unfortunately, maybe it is Toplet?
The identification of the JU52 is different and conveyed as Werk Nr. 3225,PH + OI
Is anybody able to shed light on the differing Werknummern and identification letters?
P.S. I have no whatsoever info on the Spanish and Argentinian decorations. All of my uncles naval documentation I suppose to be archived with the UBoot-Archiv in Cuxhaven?
