Crash in the Tatras, 9 October 1944
On this date a Soviet transport aircraft crashed near Tatranské Zruby, in the Tatras, in Slovakia. 24 crew and passengers (Czechoslovak paratroops) died in the crash.

I would like to have more details about this crash, especially the aircraft type (Li-2 ?) and unit. The best would be to have a list of the casualties, but I am especially interested to know if one of them was Ladislav Pfliegel, the commander of the Second Czechoslovak Para Brigade, who died on this date in the Tatras.

Thanks in advance.

Laurent
