German plane closest to the East?

Does anybody know which German plane was lost closest to Siberia (closest to the East) during WWII? (Perhaps during the battle of Moscow?)
Thanks,
Gabor

Re: German plane closest to the East?

Moscow: 37.5 east; Stalingrad: 44,5 east
Farthest East might have been a reconnaissance plane.

One of the Ospreys on Il-2 operations describes them being used against night bombing He 111s over the territory of what is new Kazakhstan.

The link below lists 5 German recon aircraft that were lost during missions including Baku. At least one was shot down near the city where its remains were brought. Baku is more east than Stalingrad, Saratova and Gorki... even if the latter are closer to Siberia itself.

Perhaps it was Ar196 from "Admiral Scheer" during Unternehmen "Wunderland" in Kara see. It was as far to the East as India.


Best regards,
Andrey
