Ju 87 losses

Hello,

I am looking for details on a Ju 87 losses (Hptm. Wilfried Herling and Lt. Hans Krumminga) of SG.2 "Immelmann" in combat on 28.11.1943 over Air Base Bol. Kostromka (Ukrain).

Thanks
Oleg

Hello Oleg,

in the GenQu. loss reports from December 24, 1943 are listed:

28.11. 7./Schl.G. 2 Feindflug Bolschaja-Kostromka von abstürzendem Flugzeug in der Luft gerammt, Aufschlagbrand
Ju 87 D-5 13093 100%
F Oblt Wilfried Herling (Staffelkapitän) tot

Re: Ju 87 losses

Note that the WNr. listed by Rottler are incomplete. They should be 6-digit WNr., rather than the 5-digits reported. WNr. 13971 is most likely WNr. 130971. The other WNr. 13093 is more problematic. Losses for Stukas in the 1310xx/1311xx series started showing up in late 1943, but it could also be 13093x - with the missing digit in either of the last four positions.

Both these guys were RK recipients. It would be cool to be able to get a complete documented WNr., and of course the 'T6+_R' code, for one or both of them.

Re: Ju 87 losses

My suggestion to 13093 is 130953, because 130955 and 130958 were also used by Schl.G 2. Several of 13093X were used by Schl.G 1. Its code was T6+BR.
13971 was T6+CD.

Re: Ju 87 losses

Did any five-digit WNr exist in the first place?

Cheers

Re: Ju 87 losses

I have 30-40 losses for Stukas that begin 31xxx. These range from 31031 to 31712, and are scattered through dates from May-43 through early-45. The earliest of these losses would appear to occur too early for 131xxx WNr. while the later losses may or may not be missing the leading '1'. There are a very few other 5-digit losses starting with a '1' or a '2' but these appear to be due to typing errors.

The preceding statement is based on observation of Ju 87 losses only. I've never seen anything with any detail on Ju 87 production WNr. blocks.

Re: Ju 87 losses

Thanks Jim

I find the WNr of the Ju 87 D very puzzling.
No book I can think of has tried to tackle them properly. I guess no one here wants to do it either, so....

Cheers
Stig
