Gentlenem,

two Ar96 of of SG 101 crashed near Smirschitz/ Smiřice and the same day two Ar 96 of SG 102 crashed near Tirschewitz/ Držovice.
It would be nice, when I could get the names of the pilots.

Hi Matti - Is the Stkz VH+TW correct? as this should read as W/Nr.799. However, if the W/Nr is correct then the true Stkz should read as VH+LV. The full W/Nr range runs from 550777 to 550802

[Matti Salonen]

My info comes from the NVM. Unfortunately I have no other source to confirm WNr. and/or SKZ. Sorry.

From where does your verification come from?
Not wishing to be pertinent for a second, but many times these STKZ batches have been up for scrutiny on TOCH and as far as I can remember, not always solved to everyone's happiness....
Just interested

Cheers
