Re: A-20 "Za Stalina " loss 30.1.1944 Evpatoria
I know only one photo from the crash site of General Tokarev from the museum in Evpatoria. You can see that the right side of the plane is burned and the antenna is visible, and the tail is broken. In the memoirs of the navigator Khokhlov, it is also indicated that the right side and wing of the aircraft burned down.
In the above photos, the plane is damaged on the left side and the antenna on top is broken.
in the documents of the germans, it is said that the plane fell east of yevpatoria, but in fact the crash site is west of the city.
It looks like right-left and east-west is a very typical mistake in this story.
in addition, Tokarev's plane was shot down at 15.10 (Berlin time) or after 17.00 (Moscow time) - not 12.30 what called in first post.
