Hi Matti,

Thanks for your help, it's really appreciated.

At first glance it looked right, but the two guys who died were buried at Pitomnik, while the plane I seek seems to have two survivors and two MIA.
Is there a Ju-52 loss for 01.01.1943 or 31.12.1942 east of the Volga?

Thanks in advance
Jason

Sorry Matti, my maths might be off. The two surviving crew members reported in on 02.01.1943 after a 2-day / 2-night trek through the enemy hinterland. That means their plane went down on either 30.12.1942 or 31.12.1942.
