Re: Ju 52 loss on 16-17 April 1944
According to JFV Vol. 15/II and the mentioned Ju 52 database on 17 Apr 1944 the 82nd FG claimed two Ju 52 northeast of Belgrad. Involved were the Lufthansa Ju 52 “Harry Rother“ WNr. 640996. 4 passengers died, the pilot Flugkapitän Kurt Vogel died on 23 Apr 1944, co-pilot Freymüller and radio operator Denzer were injured.
The other was the WNr. 130859 of 1./TG 1 1Z+FH. The pilot Ofw Willi Lichy was killed, three men were injured. If Balss and Trenkle are right, the entry in the Ju 52 database is wrong.
