Ju 52 mine sweeping Staffel in MTO
HI all

Does anyone know which Staffel of Which Unit of the Luftwaffe was ordered to sweep mines over the River Danube in spring/summer 1944? I found clues that it was only one Staffel, but cannot identify it.
Thanks for any hints...

Re: Ju 52 mine sweeping Staffel in MTO
so betweenthat time they could be at Budapest and maybe operational...

Back to the 3.Staffel. It seems they lost 16-19 planes between Februaty to October 1944, all Ju 52. Do you or anyone else have records? 16 should be due to enemy activity...Any details?pls
