Re: FW58 BB+CL 15.Jan.43 Minsk area
One more probably unknown plane lost in partisan area. Interesting story:
8.May.43 during German air raid against partisan airfield Selyavshina (35 km north of Polotsk/Polozk) the partisans had damaged a FW plane (exact type isn't mentioned), which crashed a bit later. German crew threw two MG and a photographic camera into Drissa river (all 3 items were raised by partisans) and tried to escape but 2 airmen were captured (probably the whole crew). Partisans had taken from the plane a parachute and 2000 MG rounds. Both motors were digged in. The names of the airmen are unknown for me. The plane is evidently not FW189 WNr 125162 lost on the same day as the crew of the unknown FW became a POW. Best regards, Andrey
