There was sudden landing of Junkers Ju 52 in Moscow on 15.05.1941. Most probably the plane had personal letter from Adolf Hitler to Iosif Stalin written on 14.05.41.
May someone heard any information about German crew (unit?), who took part in this particular flight?
Plane had returned most probably the same day.

The surprise landing by a Ju 52 in Moscow and the fact that Soviet ground observers mistook the Ju 52 for a DC-3 just shows how Stalin repeatedly took Hitler at his word regarding his assurances under the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact and ignored warnings from some advisors that the Führer was never going to budge from his determination to make Slavic Europe a German colony.
