Wrecked Soviet Aircraft

[researcher111]

If we go by the owner of the photo from Luftflotte I the SU-2 originated from Baltics
or Stalingrad area Regiment ,though on Baltics there were no SU-2's, also looked into my
numerous books on SU-2 trying to identify the paint, perhaps Richard could rescan the
photo along with clearer DR car destination tag.

There is a possibility that above SU-2 belonged to a Stalingrad Regiment possibly
in 1942. I did scan you a page from my book as into your remark that the year
in question was 41 or 42 .

PS : Note that by 1943 several SU2 regiments still operated with no white outline
on the star in addition the SU-2 was removed from active front duties
by early 1944.

Either-or, still in the Soviet Union.

My original statement indicated Soviet Union or Poland and that
still applies

[HGabor]

??? No. Your original statement indicated Poland or Germany by the end of 1944, or 1945. But never mind.

[researcher111]

No,my revised statement once we spoke about SU2 states Stalingrad or Baltics, so as you say never mind !

I finally got around to having another look at the photo with the rail car destination/information sign, the problem is the photo is actually not in very sharp focus.

Anyway, I have re-scanned the pertinent part (600 dpi, I tried 1200 dpi but it was just mush) however, with the image not being in focus I am not sure if anything can be gleaned to be honest.

Regardless of that, thanks to all who have contributed and it is much appreciated.

Regards Richard.
