Two Ju52 unclear losses with heavy toll during airlift to Demjansk and Cholm 1942

[Andrey Kuznetsov]

Hello,

found out in the Soviet documents two Ju52 unclear losses with heavy toll during airlift to Demjansk and Cholm (Demyansk and Kholm) 1942:

18.Feb.42
Ju52 was downed by the antitank rifle fire near Shubino (40 km ESE Demjansk). 19 POW.
Maybe it was WNr7382 (VK+PB) from KGr zbV999 (recorded 19.Feb in GQM returns but without such heavy toll.

3.Apr.42
Transport plane was downed at H=40-60 meters by AA platoon of 26th rifle brigade (MG fire) in Zhemchugovo - Lopari area (25 km NNW Cholm). The plane burned away, 25 KIA, a parachute and a bag with maps and documents were taken.
Again can't find the losses with such heavy toll in GQM returns.

Is it possibly that non-Luftwaffe personnel wasn't accounted in these cases?

Best regards,
Andrey
