Ju87-losses due to "bomb-explosion"
Some documents show unexplained explosions of Ju87 during flight, i.e.:
StG2: " (Hptm. Wutka, Bernhard -- geb. 12/3/1916 in Dittersbach, gefallen durch Explosion seiner Ju 87 im Ansatz zum Sturz beim Auslösen der Bomben - G.Brütting) ... (Am 14/7/1943 explodierte Maschine von Oblt. Schmid bei einem Angriff o. Winogradowka in ca. 600 m Höhe. Mit ihm fiel sein BF Uffz. Walter Dicker - H.Nauroth) " StG77: " Ju 87D-3 W.Nr. 110318 4./St.G. 77 FF Amelin, Ofw. Bernhard BF Schwarz, Uffz. Wilhelm Both KIA, exploded in flight. Pl.Qu. 6121 100% F Ju 87D-3 W.Nr. 1075 5./St.G. 77 FF Fitzner, Oblt. Karl BF Meyer, Fw. Ernst Both KIA when aircraft exploded in flight. Also brought down wingman Känig. Pl.Qu. 61152 100% F Ju 87D-3 W.Nr. 1423 2./St.G. 77 FF Hoffmann, Uffz. Hans BF Janke, Uffz. Herbert Both killed, exploded in flight. Pl.Qu. 61212 100% F " I read something about romanian Ju87's exploding during bomb-drop. Does anyone know more on this and its reason? |
