Hi.

The original loss records are as follows:

http://www.ahs.no/ref_db/lw_loss_pub...?lossid=100113

http://www.ahs.no/ref_db/lw_loss_pub...?lossid=100114

All these were blown up by own troops, probably as they were evacuating the airfield. If this would have been in the western sector I would not be surprised if photos of these turned up in some GI's album. The number of such photographs from the eastern front is limited.

Thank you very much for your reply. Please help in obtaining information about evacuation Wordmitt airport and its history (to 1945).
This information will be helpful in gathering data for the book "KG77" and "History Wormditt airport."
Thank you in advance for your help

PS. Witnesses, who worked as forced workers at the airport, report the date as the date of Feb. 6-10 to leave the airport and Wormditt by German troops. Then it destroyed the planes left

Hello. Please help in identifying the aircraft (and crew of the regiment) that had crashed in Wormditt. In the literature, given that it was a plane with four crew members. Crash occurred after hitting the tower of the monastery in Wormditt probably in February 1944. The entire crew died and was buried in the local cemetery.
During this period, the airport was based III/KG77 -7.43 - 10/03/1944.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards Robert
