Re: KG53 losses on 23.10.41
Thank you Leo for writing it all down!
So the loss of the Staka from 9. Staffel on the 23th can not be confirmed in any way and look like to be a mistake made by Weal. Regards, Thomas |

Re: KG53 losses on 23.10.41
Is there any indication why KG 53 suffered such heavy losses on 23 October? This was very unusual for this period of the war on the Eastern front.
Regards, Dan

But the name Haster is not yet mentioned in this thread as being a KIA on that date. Does someone have more information on Hptm. Haster? So Weal could very well be right that two Staka's got KIA on the 23th. Just not from the 9. Staffel as he wrote, but the 7. And 8. Staffel. Regards, Thomas
