Stuka Incident at Kantemirowka

[Leo Etgen]

Hello

A Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber of 2./St.G 2 ground looped and crashed into various fighters of II./JG 3 at Kantemirowka on 12 July 1942 (or 13 July 1942). Two fighters were destroyed and another two were seriously damaged. In addition, five ground staff were killed and Feldwebel Werner Kloss (14 victories, killed in flying accident 18 October 1943) and another ground staff member were injured in the incident. Are any details regarding the Stuka known?

Horrido!
