Re: Which crew belonged to which Ju52, 17-11-42.

Hi David

I have been advised that 6549 was destroyed on the ground at Barce by fighter attack on 17/11/42 when Schultze (observer) and Sachmal (R/Op) were wounded. This was the occasion when 12 Kittyhawks from 250 Squadron found He111s and Ju52s in the circuit or landing at Benina LG (near Barce). Six of the Heinkels were claimed shot down as was one Ju52. Several aircraft were strafed and claimed destroyed or damaged including a Ju52, presumably 6549.

7612 was indeed lost over Stalingrad on 19/1/43.

Hope this helps

Brian
