Other Ju 52 letter codes

Hi Folks,
On January 12, 1945 TG.3 lost a Ju 52 at Tököl (Budapest-S), which was delivering artillery shells, medical equipments, cartridges to the encircled defenders of Budapest. The plane was downed by Pavel M. Dolgarev, La-5 ace (17 VA, 116 IAP). The plane crashed in an orchard and exploded. During the 1995 recovery lots of ammo, AND eg. a fingerbone was found at the controls, with a ring on it showing: "JS". This positively identified the crew of Ofw. Johann Siegling pilot. The ring and the fingerbone obviously belonged to him. A burned watch still showed 11:00, - the time of the daytime crash.

The other lost Ju 52 this day was WNr.7301 of TG.3, which crashed at Stefánia avenue in downtown (Buda)Pest between the Ajtósi Dürer sor and the Thököly avenue.

What were the letter codes (and the WNr. of the first) and these downed Ju 52s? Did WNr.:7301 have just old codes, or newer 4V+?? too?

What do we know about the loss of Ju 52: TG.2, WNr.:501434 on January 28, 1945?

Thanks,
Gabor
