Correction: The plain force landed near Jannitsa (not Vanitsa), as Remi wrote, 50 km NW of Salonika. The crew was:
FF. Oblt. Helmut Pixberg Ju 52 (8T+PR)100%, 04.11.44 Notlandung bei Jannitsa, mit BF. Uffz. Hermann Fischer, BS. Ofw. Josef Wiemer, BM. Uffz. Herbert Brückner, Gast im Flgz., FF., hier als BO. Major Gerhard Dudeck (Kdr. der Gru. III) |
