As usual I fail to locate the place you state, in this case Klimovka Bay. Locating Soviet places are extremely tricky, at least for me! Nothing on Google maps or google at all. Do you know where this Bay actually is? Mission was as usual to Murmansk.
May I also ask from where you have the extra details such as the place they came down and that they were made POW?

Hi there Stig,
All details about W.Nr. 5039 do stem from Michael Balss's loss list, which sources GQM files as primary sources.
