Two Ju87 9./StG2 April 1943
Hello, friends!
According to GQM loss returns, two Ju87 - wn 1387 (Uffz Albert Haug, Fw Willi Koth) and wn 1447 (Uffz Willi ~Zeinler, Uffz Horst Wegmann) were downed by AA fire on 27.Apr.43 in Qu.8611. According to KTB StG2, these losses were on 27.Apr. too. Qu.8611 = area of Primorsko-Akhtarskaya, a small forward naval base of the Soviet Azov flotilla from Apr.1943. Really, there were German air raids on 25-27.Apr. The area was distant from the areas of heavy fighting. According to Soviet documents, claims on Primorsko-Akhtarskaya were on 25.Apr., not on 27. AA battery of 414.Rifle Division claimed two Ju87. (The battery had antitank rifles only). Probably the same Ju87s were claimed by the crews of two destroyed during the raid small submarine chasers ("1 Ju87 shot down and 1 Ju87 damaged"). It seems the quadrant is incorrect. 8611 instead of 8511 for example (Krymskaya area, the epicentrum of the fights). Maybe more correct coordinates in NVM? Best regards, Andrey |

Thank you a lot, Matti!
So, it was in Krymskaya area really. Ukrainskij is ~5 km SE Krymskaya Quote:

Re: Two Ju87 9./StG2 April 1943
Hi, Norbert,
Thank you! You a right, in handwritten KTB StG2 the surname is clearly Zeidler. It is my error from the reading of the bad The GQM loss return copy. Best regards, Andrey |

Does anyone have a code for Zeidler's WNr. 1447?

Hi Andrey,
is there anything in the KTB of StG 2 about a Paul Dose? Would be interested in a code of an Ju 87 he flew. He was my commander at the Offiziersschule in Fürstenfeldbruck in 1979. Would love to built a scale model of his aircraft. Thanks, Norbert |
