Re: Another captured LW pilot
Joerg and Larry,
Thank you for answers. I've checked my source more carefully. He is from 1/NAGr.14.
The story goes like this: on 14 May, Stahl and other pilot took off on flight to recon road north of Grigoriopol-Dubossary. East of Grigoriopol at h. 1000 m they were atacked by Soviet fighters. Stahl's Me-109 was badly crippled and he bailed out. Second Me-109 possibly managed to disengage, though Stahl did not observe it's fate.
Source:
TsAMO. f. 17 VA. op.6520. d. 25
"Interrogation protocoles of captured German pilots"
I presume Stahl was shot down by 897 IAP, since no more claims on Me-109 are reported in that area.
Regards,
Nikita
PS. Larry, could it be possible for you to check in your files Lt. Arnold Zeppelin from 2/KG4, shot down and captured on May 6, 1944 in Sewastopol area. Plane He-111H-20 (5J+IK)
