Lw. loss on 14 december 1942

[Stijn David]

Hello,


Anyone who can shed some light if a transportplane went down on the given date in the see near Sicily?

I have 4 soldiers from a Infantry Regiment (wich i am researching) who are reported missing on this day in the so called "Strasse von Sizilien".


Thanks in advance,

[Matti Salonen]

Again, this is the only loss on that day:
1942-12-14, 3./KG.z.b.V. 1, Ju 52/3m, 2902, Marsalla - Trapani, Bodenberührung. Bruch 90 %.
Flugzeugführer Uffz Wagner, Otto, +
Beobachter Uffz Greiler, Viktor, +
Bordfunker Gefr Krämer, Anton, +
4 Ital. Soldat tot und 6 Ital. Soldat verletzt

Could you send me the names via PM to add to my database?

Matti

Hi Matti,

Thank you, as such here are the names of the reported missing German soldiers;

Fw. Jüschke Reinhold, Obgefr. Schwarzer Arthur, Gefr. Kannenberg Arne, Flg. Fischer Franz.

Could they have been part of the Ju loss you mentioned? Or are they from another loss?

Cordial greetings,
