Hi Andreas,

Thank you for the info about 1st page entries.

Maybe the Tschir list is one of the keys to understanding the problem.

Some questions are appeared.

Planes in the entries 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 were damaged during Aug.42. Tschir station was liberated in the end of Nov.42. So damaged planes (incl.3 with 20% damages and 3 with 30% damages) for some unknown reason more than three months has remained at the airfields and some time on railroad.
It seems German repair service wasn’t very quick at the place in this case. Or these planes has received additional damages during Soviet air raids, for example. Or something else.

About item No.2 (Ju87R-2 WNr.6160 6G+DS, i.e. from II./StG1): production date (Apr.1941) is corresponded to known 61xx series Ju87Rs. Probably WNr.6160 was damaged in Aug.42 like bulk of 1st page entries. II./StG1 really had 3 Ju87R-2 in Aug.42 and according to “Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen” one of them lost due to enemy action. Maybe that's he? Or other lost/damaged Ju87R-2 is known?

As the final fates of these planes wasn’t reported by units to GQM Abt.6, it seems they were (on paper) between the front units and repair units at the time of final loss. Is it right?

Best regards,
Andrey
