Re: Information concerning loss of Ltn. Georg Strasser - 18.11.1943 over Odessa
It maybe crashed after damages received during recce flight to SE corner of the Black Sea. 35.IAP PVO (Batum region of Air Defence) claimed 1 Ju88 - intercepted off Kobuleti and after long pursuing, according to pilot's reports, aircraft fell in the water in 170 km west of Batum. It seems fighters broke pursuing due to fuel shortage, and a/c crashed off Odessa really.
What is the time of the accident according to NVM? Initial time of interception 12:10 msc (10:10 German)
