Re: JU 52 casualties Tunis area 15th January 1943.
A bit more information has come to light. On 26th January Ultra forwarded an intercept that reported that on 15th January 1943 15 a/c had flown from Reggio to Tunis, carrying elements of Field Ersatz Battalions Africa No. 29 and No.26, Grenadier Regiment 47, Mountain Rifle Regiment 756, 1st Ambulance Company 334.
On another matter, on 21 January Ultra noted that a Do 217 equipped with RDF was present on Sicily. Could not operate at night, as the pilot was not qualified to fly at night. Then on the 27th Fliegerkorps intentions for the 28th included searching for a missing Do 217.
Is there any information on a loss of a Do 217, say from 24th to 27th January????

Russell
