I absolutely do. There is nothing more intersting then having a piece of history like this.
Best regards, Tobias

The 24th September 1943 was a bad day for the transport units - 15 aircraft were lost over the southern front from TG-1, TG-2 & TG-4 with TG-2 losing nine of those.
Along with Peters was the pilot, Unteroffizier Negele who was killed and the Bordschütze Obergefreiter Jäger who was wounded. The aircraft was a Ju-52/M with the Werk Nr 10018 and the reason is given as Bordwaffenbeschuß (Fiendbeobachtet). The Allied units involved were 39, 272 & 603 Squadrons RAF, all of which were equipped with Beaufighters.
