Rick,

Year is 1944 instead? Ofgr. Georg Kräuser, lost in Ju-87R-2, Wnr. 6109 on 9-9-1944 near Gedern, bad weather.
Crew member was Ogefr. Ewald Sommer, also killed. See (e.g.) website Aircrewremembered.com

There were two more Stuka weather related crashes of SG103 with all 4 crew killed in area, plus one emergency landing.

Regards,
Leendert

Hi Leendert,

Yes you are quite right 1944. My apologies.

Seems an awful mess the same unit losing 3 or 4 aircraft due to bad weather in one go.

Thanks for your efforts.
