Correct aircraft is Fi 156C-1, WNr. 707, which was shot down at Maciuki, southwest of Surwiliszki.

Hi,

thank you all for your inputs.

Matti, do you know the first names of Uffz. Hillemann and Reiher? To which unit they belonged to? Was the plane shot down by e/a, or from the ground? Thanks.

Boris

Siegfried Hillemann and Gebhard Reiher.

NVM gives Ln.-Rgt. 22 and Absturz infolge Feindbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.

Regards,

Matti

Guys

How come the sources differ so much with regard to the WNr?
John says 5177 and Matti 707?
Which one is correct?

Cheers
Stig

Hi all!

Matti, thank you very much for additional information.

Norbert, on eBay I recently bought a photo of the grave of these men. It states that they died on 27. 6. 1941. (See attached photo thumbnail.)
