I have uploaded my historical Platzschutzstaffel Pitomnik mission pack.
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/download.php?view.699

The Platzschutzstaffel (airfield defence squadron), commanded by Hauptmann Rudolf Germeroth, was a detachment of volunteers from Jagdgeschwader 3, based at Pitomnik airfield inside the Stalingrad pocket between 12 December 1942 and 16 January 1943. The units main task was to protect the airfield and the transport planes bringing supplies and evacuating the wound, but also free hunt and reconnaissance escort missions were flown. Due to the lack of spare parts and the harsh conditions at Stalingrad often not more than three Bf-109 were serviceable at the same time and many missions were flown by just two planes. Nonetheless the units pilots claimed more than 100 Soviet aircraft shot down during this time.
On 16 January 1943 Pitomnik was captured by the Red Army and the men of the Platzschutzstaffel escaped to Gumrak airfield. Over the following days the pilots were evacuated by plane, but most of the ground crews were left behind and became prisoners when the 6th Army surrendered on 2 February 1943.

I have tried to make the missions as historically accurate as possible. For example I used the Gradnetz-coordinates from the official Luftwaffe victory reports to determine the locations of air battles shown in the missions and some of them are based on the personal records of Kurt Ebener, who scored more than 30 victories during his time at Pitomnik.

A special thanks to Cheruskerarmin, who created the Bf-109 and Ju-52 skins for the mission pack and provided a lot of useful information.

The missions were created in the unmodded version of the game, but they will also work in the modded version.

Wonderful work guys, thank you!

Of course. Fixed it

By the way, when will we see the whole Ju-52 skin pack?

Today on 16 January, exactly 70 years ago, Oberleutnant Werner Lucas flew the last combat mission of Platzschutzstaffel Pitomnik, before the airfield was overrun by the Red Army and the men of the Platzschutzstaffel had to evacuate to Gumrak airfield. This missions is also part of my mission pack.

I'm still working on some Ju52 packs and will release them all together when finished.

Thanks for posting the screenshots Odin1one.

Looks like the 'Patrol over Baburkin' mission. That's one of the missions based on the diaries of Kurt Ebener. The background of the mission is quiet dramatic. Ebeners older brother, who had been seriously wounded on this day, was in the medical clearing station the Sturmoviks attacked. Before Ebener left the Stalingrad pocket he tried to find his brother, but without success and he never saw him again.

Yes. Sad to here that. War are alwys dramatic. Supose that " As you bedd you have to sleep"
Far to many lives, brothers and sister was lost,
Still! Your missions are realy entertaining and nice to fly.. Loking forward to more of that.

I have uploaded version 1.1 of the mission pack. The missions were updated with some of the new features and objects from patch 4.12.1, which means they are no longer compatible with older versions of the game. Three new missions were added and in two of the old missions I have added the new taxi to take off option.
