Re: Russians bomb Berlin 13 September 1942
Good day,
Pilots sergeants Stadnik (or Stadnyuk) Aleksei Evdokimovich and his partner Pinchuk Peter Kuzmich is not known to the VVS RKKA.
In a letter to Mr. Stadnik said he Sergeant «strelok-bombardier (navigator) on the bomber TB-3F». But I doubt very much that Berlin was flying navigators with the rank of Sergeant (by age, profession and the mission he was supposed to be a officer). And I very much doubt that the Navigator of the plane didn't know his exact name (DB-3F). Think doesn't make sense to look for a RAID on Berlin on 13 September 1942. In the photograph of a man obviously older than 20 years.
This is a fake legend.
Stadnik Alexei Evdokimovich, 05.05.1922, Stalin oblast, Mariupol. The soldier, private. Died in captivity (in Saxony on the lists of memorial).
Junior Sergeant Pinchuk Peter Kuzmich, 1913(1914) was the commander of anti-aircraft guns and went through the war (with the medal "For military merit" and the 2 orders "Patriotic War 2nd degree").
regards,
Kirill
