Taken from the reg diaries of the 73rd Anti tank regiment. Nov 11th 1942, they shot down a Stuka? Does anyone know where I can find out the name of the German pilot?
Apart from the fact that the pilot was from Sturzkampf-Geschwader 3, I can contribute very little. The identification was S7+?? Unfortunately, hardly any documents on this squadron have survived: Documented losses November 1942 I./St.G.3 - 8 II./St.G.3 - 31 III./St.G.3 - 8 The only loss known by name on this date is the commander of I./St.G.3, Martin Mosskopf, PoW after being shot down by P-40 No. 2 Sqn RAAF "to the east of Halfaya Pass South West of Sollum in Cyrenaica". I would try the British Intel documents: If there is nothing substantial, then the only hope is for a chance hit. sources: Sturzkampfgeschwader 3 Moßdorf, Martin 'Mosskopf' (Stuka-Geschwader 3) - TracesOfWar.com
