Re: Definitely Off-Beat: Guineas Book of World Records
..not much info on this in Heinz Kiehl's KG 53 book ..although there are 18 fatalities listed for 28 June 1943 ..Absturz Deutschland is the only info given as to the reason and location of the losses - II./KG 53 was reforming at Gablingen (Augsburg) during late May and undergoing intensive training (including night sorties) under a new Kommandeur Major Wittmann (RKträger) prior to being deployed in early July to Olsufjewo near Brjansk (central sector Russian front) mid-way through "Zitadelle"
