Hello to all
I am looking for information on the fate a Ju-88 A-4 from the 2./KG 54 WNr-140339 loss the night 10/11 July 1944 probably in Belgium
Pilot Uffz Krenz Werner (KIA) buried a Lommel as for the Obgefr Redieske Günter
The fate of the two other crewmen is uncertain
Uffz Minnerup Wilhelm (KIA?) & Uff Klein Theodor (KIA?)
Many thanks in advance

I have what you have but no location for the loss which was attributed to Flak

Thanks Chris & Melvin
Two of the crewmen included the pilot are buried in Lommel and two are not listed in the grave website so I assume they are still missing , my opinion is that they where shot down in Belgium or maybe in sea but much more north of the target area
One additional information , the Uffz Krenz Werner (KIA)67412/348 & the Obgefr Redieske Günter (KIA)67412/350 were exhumed from the German cemetery at Houx (between Dinant and Namur )

Phil,
Thanks for the additional information! Do you have the ID disc numbers for the other two crew members?
Regards

Not yet but I assume it should be something like 67412/349 or /351 (but it’s only pure speculation!)
