I have found on eBay 39/45 Magazine - issue 133/134 from summer 1997. Is there anything interesting about Evacuation of Corsica in September 1943?! Do you think it is worth to buy?!

Me 323 which was on the way from Marseilles to Rome was shot down over Corsica on 13 July, 1943 by the British pilot Gil Graham in a Marauder. The Me 323 was loaded with 9 tons of Flak ammunition, a half-track and two VW Kübelwagen (web).

the Marauder pilot reported a total loss of aircraft and crew after the 20 minute fire fight with the Me 323 and having viewed the crash. Here the crew of the Me 323 inspect their aircraft remains
