He111 GK+UE 2659 of KG51 missing 8?-1-1943
Luft. Q.M's returns dated 26-1-1943 shows the loss of the above aircraft flown by Ofw.Kurt Dickert and carrying 15 other aircrewman all missing. Possibibly on a flight to Tasinskaja, the other crewmen consisted of four pilots ( Uffz Scheider, Uffz Lesert, Uffz Galgen and Ltn Helm ), ten Bf's plus a hand written name which might be Fw Karl-Heinz Wilmers. Looking at the losses from the KG51 book seven of the crewmen are listed as missing on an unknown date in Jan. 1943, athough Ltn Joachim Helm is shown as missing on 8-1-43. The book show a mixture of men from I and III/KG51.
Is there any other information about the loss of this aircraft or its mark and confirmation of the losses please,
Regards
Brian Bines
