Re: Which Luftwaffe unit active in Crimea in 1941?
Tony Wood claim list is now outdated. Especially in 1941-1942 for Eastern Front claims there are many gaps (due to lack of available data when Mr Wood build his files, years ago).
None of the above units was flying in Crimea area on this day. JG 77 did and Prien Jagdverbande books give the following claims for it that day:
07h15 a Mig-3 by Fw. Wilhelm Baumgartner of 9./JG 77 (10th personnal victory, 341st victory of III./JG 77)
07h42 a Mig-3 by Oblt. Kurt Lasse of 9./JG 77 (26th personnal victory, 342nd victory of III./JG 77)
10h35 a DB-3 by Oblt. Kurt Lasse of 9./JG 77 (27th personnal victory, 343rd victory of III./JG 77)
10h39 a DB-3 by Oblt. Kurt Lasse of 9./JG 77 (28th personnal victory, 344th victory of III./JG 77)
10h40 a DB-3 by Uffz Franz Schmidt of 9./JG 77 (2nd personnal victory, 345th victory of III./JG 77)
So you have two claims for Mig-3, one half hour apart. If you can confirm that Trubachenko was shot down in the morning, he was probably shot down by one of these two pilots.
As for the location of the claims, I am afraid for most cases in 1941 on the Eastern Front it is not available.
