82nd FG vs Ju.52 Mausis

Hello,
on 04.07.44 82nd Fighter Group pilots claimed 3 Ju.52s equipped near Craiova (Rumania). I assume they may have been from 3./MSGr.1. Can anybody confirm?

Thanks in advance

Re: 82nd FG vs Ju.52 Mausis

James is right - by that time 82nd flew P-38J-15s. Michel what´s your source as I looked at Michael Holm´s site and 4. Minensuchstaffel´s base for the period 10.42-10.44 is given as Saloniki whilst 3. Minensuchstaffel operated from Varna until 8.44.

Cheers
