[Bill Martin]

A Me 323 was shot down near Cape Bon, Tunisia on 11 Jan 1943.
Is there any information identifying this aircraft with crew names
if possible.

Thanks,

Bill Martin

Bill, from Luft.GQM I have Me323D-1 RD+QK of 1/KGzbV323 Ff Ltn Kruger, Bf Uffz.Frans, Bm Fw.Theo Niemaned and Bs Fw.Heinz Niemaned (these two appear to have the same surname but both names are smudged) the following names are added in ink with no Christian names or crew positions shown but are later typed in on a admendment page Ofw.Howald, Uffz. Schneider, Uffz.Rauch, Fw.Stempfel and Ogef.Muller - crew are shown initially as missing a further change note states crew of Ltn Kruger all killed (9). The French publication on the Me323 has this aircraft as falling to a P-38 of 49thFS/14th FG,

Regards
