Re: Loss of GM Kurt Thomas in 1943
According to a Wikipedia source (yes, not the best but sometimes accurate)

"Flugzeug in der Nacht vom 5. auf 6. Mai 1943 über dem Mittelmeer vermutlich von Nachtjägern abgeschossen."

According to MAWIII, a Beaufighter VIf of 255 Sq shot down a Ju-52/3m on May 5/6,1943 at 0030 hrs. The Luftwaffe lost a Ju52/3m of III/TG1, wk No 7489 was shot down by fighters, shot down by fighters at Tunis, pilot WIA.

It would seem that General Kurt Thomas was on this A/c.
