The Battle of Stalingrad had been over for some months. The last 2 Ju-52s had flown out of Pitomnik airfield on Jan. 24, 1943.

Ahh, mixed up dates, sorry.
Stalingrad happens in the same frame as operation Torch though, and Ju52's were sent off the eastern front, - never to return.
Then Kursk battle is in full rage when the Allied landed on Sicily as well. I belive some squadrons were sent off the eastern front because of that as well.
Will have to dive into a book for it though.

And how was I confusing AH with real life by saying the post reminded me of a photograph?

That photo of those B25 slaughtering ju52's is pretty cool.
