Which SG attacked the soviet Dnestr-bridgehead at Dubossary on May 15, 1944?
My uncle was there, with remnants of 9. Panzerdivision. They were supposed to crush the bridgehead. He writes (im my rather loose translation): "After thorough artillery preparation, we climb out of our foxholes on May 15, 1944. 120 Stukas will give the soviet positions a final work-over. Due to heavy AA fire, the first one drops too early, and the following planes drop everything on us. More than half of our company of 112 men dies just 20 meters in front of our jump off position."
Is it possible to id the Schlachtgeschwader? Is the number of planes, 120, realistic that late in the war? TIA, Richard
