German Plane In Batumi
Greetings!
I've got a question and I've been advised to come to this site to get the answer. So, here it goes: There's an old man in Batumi, Georgia saying that one day during the war when, being a child, he was playing football with his friends on the beach of Batumi, a German plane was shot down in the sea no more than 500 meters from the shore. The pilot managed to jump with the parachute and was caught immediately by the soviet coast guard. The plane, of course, sunk to the bottom. Does anybody knows anything that might be confirming the old man's words? Thank you! |

Re: German Plane In Batumi
Or, maybe there's a list of Luftwaffe losses somewhere, saying when, where and which planes were shot down...
Somebody.. |

Re: German Plane In Batumi
It is definitely very well possible. But you should at least offer us a date to get any result.
I assume it was an Aufklärer, so it flew alone and the Luftwaffe may not have learnt when/where/how the plane ended, and thus it should be a "vermisst"-Meldung (MIA) for a Ju88, a He111, a Do17 or whatever other types were used for longrange-Reccon. |
