Re: Stalingrad airlift last plane out
19 men in a He 111 could well be correct. It is a spacious aircraft that was could carry 3250 kg of bombs on internal and external racks.

WIth bomb racks removed and likely also starting with less than full tanks the weight would not be the limiting factor but rather space.
A Do 24 landed on 9 May 1945 in Sweden carrying 37 evacuees in addition to the crew...
