Stab,I,III/StG2 losses in May 1941

[tasos greece]

Thank you very much for your responses.
During the past 5 years I managed to find exact information about that incident I had heard of.

The aircraft was not a Ju-87 but a Me-109. The dead pilot was uffz. Willi Hagel of 4./JG 77 who crash landed near Molaoi the 14th May 1941.
The exact area of the crash called ''Pacogia'' and it is situated near the village Rihea.

Dear Aviator , I was surprised about the accuracy of your information. I am very interested to know the source. Is it from german records or from some pilot's memoirs?

Hello Tasos,
Thank you for your feedback.It seems that its not meant the single seater Me 109 because more than one crew members are mentioned.And the only one aircraft meant can be a Ju 87R.lets see if this all fits with a loss list.
The document is a memoire from Manoli Panariti "Selides Imerologiou".See the part of it.

Regards,

Thank you Aviator. I also have this part of the memoire. It was published by a greek newspaper in Canada some years ago. It is a very interesting first-hand account of the everyday life in Laconia during WWII but in the case of the aircraft crash it lacks of accuracy.
I have met two eye-witnesses from that area and furthermore I have found two books of memoires which refer to that incident. All of them agree that it was a single-seated aircraft , a Me-109.
By the way , do you speak greek?
