Re: Help with Tunisian grid reference please

Thanks guys

It is from a loss report and shouldn't be in the Med, i'll do some checking.

I kept getting the med position which is one of the reasons i thought i was doing something wrong.

Thanks

Ben

Re: Help with Tunisian grid reference please

I've checked and the area is descibed as 25km south-west of pont-du-fahs and should be 40-50km behind the front lines.

could grid Qu 2953 have been miss read? and would another similar one fit the bill?

Thanks

Ben

Hi Ben !

A point 25km south-west of pont-du-fahs
would have the following Gradnetz-Meldeverfahren
designation:

03 Ost 97823 lo

Would it be possible that Qu 2953 is based on a
different map system (maybe Wehrmacht) ?

bye,
FrankieS

I had assumed that as the loss was of an aircraft the grid would be luftwaffe !

do you know where can i check to see if it is from a differant system?

Hi.

What details do you really have with regards to this loss Ben? The only late December 1942 losses I have that could be related to 5./Schl.G.1 was later corrected to being related to II./St.G.3 (one Ju 87 on 22.12.1942 and one Ju 87 on 27.12.1942). No trace of an QU reference with regards to these losses, they are both noted as being at Pantelleria.

http://www.ahs.no/ref_db/lw_loss_pub...?lossid=116002

So if the one you are talking about was on another date or another WNr, please let me know and I will look for it.

mvh
