A friend of mine who developed a particular interest in this airbase bought two photos showing some Ju 52 wrecks with code 4V+.. Apparently taken by a Red Army cameraman when they entered the area, which would be in autumn 1944. These are attached.

Sinisa, code 4V+... was used by Transportgeschwader 3. Of the Gruppen of this unit, III./TG 3 operated in the southern sector of the Eastern front in late 1944. This could be a candidate for the unit to which the aircraft belonged, but if you are unsure of the dating, these could also relate to the fighting for the Korsun (Cherkassy) pocket in February 1944. III./TG 3 was involved in that operation, as noted by Larry de Zeng on this forum in 2014 - http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=39877
