Date seems to be 4.mai 41, crew quoted as wounded , maybe one or 2 died later, 5. would be the date of death..

Hello, maybe a late respons.
What was the reason of the losses of the Ju-87 of Oberleutnant Torpier?
Mechanical problems, shot-down, ... ?

Erg.St./St.G. is this Ergänzungs Sturm / Sturzkamp-Geschwader ?

And is there any more info about Torpier?
Yesterday i found a deathcard from him at Ebay.

Many thanks.
