Stuka Geschw. 77 grouping

[PzV]

This showed up yesterday at the flea market, a small grouping of Wehrpass, private pilots license, some decorations and photos of a flyer who had flown 191 missions (in the Wehrpass is says 61 but the letter from his commander says 191) on the eastern front and was killed in a test flight.

In his training it is also interesting that he was trained for towing flights with the Ju-87
