Junkers JU87G-1 "Tank Buster"

[David Brown]

Can someone give me information on the flight crew of the JU87 G-1 with the code: S2 + HU? I believe it belonged to St.G 77. Thanks

That´s interesting since the 10.(Pz)/SG 77 used the last letter "X" in 1944 and 1945, although the ordinary letter should be exactly "U".

I assume that your Stuka is from winter 1943/44 when the first Panzerjägerstaffel SG 77 was in operation (became 10.(Pz)/SG 1 in January 1944).

Hi Jan:

Let me give you a little more background information. I'm planning to build a 1/32 scale JU87G. I was surfing the net and came across a 1/32 scale JU87G-1 that was featured by Wayne Bowman of Toronto, Canada. Unfortunately, there was no background information concerning the aircraft as to unit identification, crew, location or time. You can view his model on ipmstoronto.com/gallery.html.

Since that time, I came across a color profile of a Junkers JU 87G-1 which was assigned to 10 (Pz). Staffel, II/Schlachtgeschwader 3 in Jacobstadt, Latvia, 1944. [Reference: "Warplanes of the Luftwaffe" edited by David Donald, AIRtime Publishing USA, 1994, pp164-165] The aircraft's code is: S7 + EN. The WNr. is 494231
Again, there is no mention concerning the crew. Any information concerning the crew would be appreciated.
