Nachtschlachtstaffeln in Italy 1944

Gefreiter Wilhelm Happe and his plane collided with another aircraft during landing on the third of Juli, 1944 near Florenz in Italy.

Does anyone know what unit this was and maybe his plane data??
I have his picture if anyone wants a scanned image of it.
Thank You in advance
Christian

1./NSG 9, Ju 87 D-5 Werk Nummer 141010. I don't know the exact code but the Staffel markings were E8 + _ H.

Happe was the observer and his pilot was Uffz. Ewald Kapahnke.

I've written a whole book about NSG 9 which is still available: Ghost Bombers, the Moonlight War of NSG 9: Luftwaffe Night Attack Operations from Anzio to the Alps (Classic Publications Ltd., Crowborough, 2001) ISBN 1 903223 15 6

There are additions and corrections ot the book on my website http://www.ghostbombers.com and I would appreciate a scan of your photo of Happe to post there, if possible.

How did you get hold of it?
