From a Soviet Archive - crashed german aircraft...
I don't know if this has been shown here before, but...In a Soviet Archive with german documents taken during and after the war, I found a couple of pages with what seems like a collection of landed/crashed Luftwaffe aircraft on russian ground. They're in the russian language and I'm afraid not in the best of conditions - but perhaps somebody can decipher them...
...There're a couple more if they're of interest... Hans K Last edited by sveahk; 28th August 2017 at 14:48. |

Re: From a Soviet Archive - crashed german aircraft...
According to our colleague, Valery Smirnov, this report was made on 7 May 1943, and it is about the German aircraft captured at Chir railway station near Stalingrad. Some of these had been damaged and were meant to be transported to the rear support areas. Here is the link to the site - languages of choice are Russian and German http://wwii.germandocsinrussia.org/r...inspect/zoom/8

Re: From a Soviet Archive - crashed german aircraft...
Thanks Sidney for your info - march/april 1943 and Stalingrad do sound correct, even with my threadbare knowledge of the russian language, and the documents are from the shown German/Soviet archives.
Most of the documents we see there are indeed german ones, taken to Russia and translated - but some, like the scanned document and others are, IMV, original russian that somehow ended up in those special archives...so, no german text is available in those cases...sorry to say... Hans k |

Re: From a Soviet Archive - crashed german aircraft...
Hello,
these have all been translated and linked to German loss records (a majority - those with too few identificators naturally not when only parts of aircraft were found). Regards, Andreas B
