Ju-87D crash site relics

**Luftwaffe 1941** · 01-11-2018, 03:37 AM

Thought I would show some more Luftwaffe crash site relics. This group of parts came from the crash of a Ju-87D in Ukraine. Unfortunately I only know a small bit of info on this particular plane, as research is still being done by the relic hunter who found it. Enough info was found on data plates to confirm it as a Ju-87D, but the most important info one can have from a Luftwaffe crash site is its werk#. The relic hunter found a part that contained the planes werk#, but due to damage the whole number can not be read. Here is all the info I have so far.

This Ju-87D crashed in March/April of 1944 in the area of Kamenets-Podolsky (Hube pocket) Only two digits of the werk# are know so far "22" It is unknown what caused the plane to crash, but it is clear it burned for quite some time after the impact. You can see the melted aluminum in the third photo. I will update this thread with more info, if the relic hunter can dig up anything new.

Best regards- Jarret

Well I definitely agree with that statement!

Everyone has there own fields of study. Which makes this hobby so interesting. After a while you get to know most members focus!

Fascinating stuff Jarret. You are like a pathologist from a crime scene with a box of bones.

I would give my right arm to own a Jericho siren from a JU-87

Thank you Anderson! Its always fun to try and research these crash site relics. I'm currently researching a large group of parts I received from a Me109 crash site. I think I might have found a photo of the pilot online

Ill post a new thread on that later. Still trying to gather as much data as possible before I make the post.

Best regards- Jarret

A nice selection of relics from the crash site, thanks for posting. I should point out though, that the picture of the Stuka is of a a type 'B' as used in the very early years of the war - especially during the 'Battle of Britain.' The type 'D' had a more streamlined cowling and radiator.

Cheers,
Steve.
