Re: Found MIAs of the 872 ShAP
Dennis,
The pilot and gunner found were Ml. Lt. Guriy Nikolayevich Maximov and Sgt Kuzm Alekseyevich Chuprov. The actual ram was by Ml. Lt Ivan Panteleevich Lyapin and St. Sgt Mikhail Mikhaylovich Kuzmin. It seems St. Lt. Borisov of the 287 IAP started the "ball rolling" that it was Maximov. It spun out of control with post-war memiors. It was a great piece of detective work in correcting history. The people who dig these sites do great work but I wonder about handling that unexploded ordinance especially by teenagers.
