Fw. Otto Unertl 9./JG77 KIA 25-April-1941

[Richard Mills]

I am currently researching Feldwebel Otto Unertl 9./JG77 KIA 25-April-1941, shot down by Flak near Nauplion, Greece.

I know that Unertl was flying a Bf-109 E-7 however, I would appreciate it if anyone could identify the Werk Nr. or even the fuselage code of the machine. Furthermore, I would like to find out if possible the details of the JG77 missions for that date.

As always, any help is very well received.

Regards Richard.

Tasos and Byron, many thanks indeed for your help with my request.

I am still trying to ascertain the nature of JG77's operations on that day and the immediate days preceeding.

Still hopeful in anticipation.

If this is the case that a photograph or digital image is in circulation of Feldwebel Otto Unertl's aircraft, then I would very much like to see them!

Always hoping!

Hi I know that this is un old thread but since I am reserching the the events that took place in my home town Nafplio (also refered as Nauplia or Navplion),

I found some very very interesting pictures in Australian War Museum photo search as in the links below

If you have any more info please contact me,

Hello tgsdim,
Is the place known exactly where the plane came down? Do any story of the locals exist about this?
