Re: Two Ju52 unclear losses with heavy toll during airlift to Demjansk and Cholm 1942
The GQM entry for VK+PB on the 19th Feb. also has 'Ausserdem 2Heeresangehorige? ' missing I do not now if this means the five aircrew of Fw Trunk plus 2 army personnel were the total missing on this aircraft.
As regards the loss on the 3rd April GQM dated 4-4-1942 item 112 has the loss of 4V+DN to enemy fire (Cholm) FF Ofw Gerhard Nensel plus 2 missing no mention of any passengers, Regards Brian Bines |
