Description
About the Relic & Process
This relic comes from a large 34" x 36" section of the port wing of a JU-87 B-1 Stuka, W.Nr. 5611, recovered near Yukhnov, Russia. The panel, still coated with original RLM 76 (light blue) paint, displays access hatches, oil streaks, and remnants of Russian soil in its stringers. This aircraft, part of II/StG1, was severely damaged by anti-aircraft fire on April 18, 1942, during the German advance on the Eastern Front. Despite their injuries, both the pilot, Lt. Hans Buchholz, and his radio operator, Uffz. Hans Bayerlein, survived the crash, making an emergency landing in an area that had been liberated by Soviet forces just a month earlier.
The aircraft suffered an 80% loss during the crash, with significant damage caused by the intense flak that hit it during its mission. The crash site, located 70 km west-northwest of Kaluga, was a hotspot for combat activity during this period, as the Soviets had launched counter-offensives to reclaim lost ground. This intact panel is a rare remnant of the aircraft, providing insight into both the machine's design and the ferocity of the battles it participated in.
Lt. Hans Buchholz and Uffz. Hans Bayerlein were fortunate to survive the crash, but the damage inflicted on the aircraft during its final mission underscores the peril faced by Stuka pilots in these high-risk operations. The JU-87 Stuka, known for its infamous dive-bombing tactics and terrifying siren, played a crucial role in early German victories, but by 1942, it was increasingly vulnerable to Allied anti-aircraft fire and superior fighters. This artifact not only represents a tangible piece of aviation history but also serves as a testament to the endurance and bravery of the crews who flew in these dangerous missions.
