Re: Wrecked Soviet Aircraft

If we go by the owner of the photo from Luftflotte I the SU-2 originated from Baltics
or Stalingrad area Regiment ,though on Baltics there were no SU-2's, also looked into my
numerous books on SU-2 trying to identify the paint, perhaps Richard could rescan the
photo along with clearer DR car destination tag.

There is a possibility that above SU-2 belonged to a Stalingrad Regiment possibly
in 1942. I did scan you a page from my book as into your remark that the year
in question was 41 or 42 .

PS : Note that by 1943 several SU2 regiments still operated with no white outline
on the star in addition the SU-2 was removed from active front duties
by early 1944.
