Seeking ID of German AF, possibly Breslau, where this StG77 funeral was being held circa Aug-Oct, 1939

Hi Matti,
Polish original reports mention 25-26 German aircraft downed over Modlin and other defence positions in the area. After post-war verification, only 6 Lw aircraft appeared to be actually destroyed. Others were damaged and repaired later on, but none on 22nd September. The Verlustmeldung sometimes determines the place of operation (target), rather than place where the aircraft received the deadly shot. The report you quote says: "Bruch ? %, Olt Polt, Walter, +". It's not a total loss. The distance from Radom-Sadkow to Modlin is some 130-140 kilometers. On 22.09.1939 the unit had to flew near a few well defended areas, which could damage or destroy the Ju-87 in subject. In conclusion: I haven't better location information for this loss, so do you. But I have no reason to belive it was exactly a Modlin, I rather doubt about it.

Hello.

I have the following from the Luftflotte 4 Führungsabtlg. I a op:

Nacrichtlich: RLM Genst.6.Abt.
Bisher gemeldete Verluste der Luftflotte 4 vom 22.9.1939.

Zauber meldet:
A 1., Oblt Walter Polt Nachr.Offz. Stab Stuka 77 durch Flaktreffer über Modlin tödlich verwundet.

These messages ar additions or corrections to the loss records submitted from the Luftflotte 4 to the Gen.Qu. earlier on - in this case additional information.

In my opinion this is a pure personnel loss - the aircraft was most likely only slightly damaged and not reported as a loss.

The position this officer held in the unit would probably be the background for a well photographed funeral service.

Regards,
Andreas B
