Following a failure of the compass, the crew became disorientated. The pilot crash-landed the aircraft and both crew members were taken prisoner of war. So, NSGr. 1-Süd still operated in the south until end of war (being in Mühldorf am Inn, about 65km east of Munich), while NSGr. 1-Nord saw its last combat missions in northern Germany and surrendered to the Allies in Husum (about 30km west of Schleswig in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany)." ------------------- For this one numbers are historical at least: https://www.mediafire.com/file/yv87fge79uruq5u/%2B_Ju87D-5_V8%2BF6_jj.dds/file --------------------- For Finnish Leningrad Map work: Ju-87D-5 (Work Number 131587). Attached to 1/S.G.5 in Finland in 1944, it was used for close air support missions in the frozen north. Flying as Q9+CH this Stuka was piloted by Lt. Uffz. Walter Ernest and Uffz. Ernest Zenker. April 4th, 1944, the aircraft ran low on fuel and landed on a frozen lake. With no way to recover the aircraft they detonated a grenade in the cockpit, rendering the aircraft unusable, and left it to sink into the lake during the spring thaw. Sleeping in ice-cold fresh water, she was not disturbed for 77 years. Once hauled to the surface, the white distemper paint could still be seen on her skin, evidence of desperate times and the difficulty of fighting a war at the top of the world. The extreme freezing temperatures preserved this historic aircraft in incredible condition, so for the first time a completely untouched and original Ju 87D-5 has reached the American Heritage Museum. With the help of the RAF Museum, Berlin Technik Museum, and the Východočeské Museum in the Czech Republic, this will certainly be the most watched restoration of the modern era. The American Heritage Museum presents the beginning of the next chapter for world-class restoration and preservation.
