Gentlemen,

Please advise how the loss of this plane was reported in GQ. This happened on July 2, 1942.

TIA

Thanks Ed,

Was shot down by fighters. Crash site found in Abrau-Djurso. All crewmembers killed.

Thanks. Any remains there today?

I don't think so. Shield with w.n., other remnants were collected just after the event took place, in July 1942. I suppose bodies were burried just afterwards on the crash site.

Photo of Schild, or just reference in Army documents?

Account by comission that visited crash site, unfortunatelly without photo. But I think photoes were taken but not attached, due to unknown reason.
