Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Two wrecks of Ju 88 Gs featured in this album, one is Ju 88 G-1 WNr. 710547 with two Abschussbalken:

the other is probably a G-6, note the lower part of the first WNr. digit '6' in the typical position, visible on one of the photos:

Some of the P-51 photos in this album are captioned Y-99. If the Ju 88s are also pictured there, then they may have belonged to III./NJG 2 which was based at Gütersloh for a while in late 1944.

This Heinkel has featured here before: S3+IL of 3./TGr. 30. I believe that someone gave the location as Schweinfurt.

Quite right, Nick. Post 981 on page 99 & Peter Werry's post 993 on page 100).

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Ju88G-1 W.Nr. 710547 (3C+PN) returned onto unit strength with II./NJG4 at Gütersloh or Lippspringe on 5 February 1945 after repair.

It possibly didn't stay with II./NJG4 for long after this, since a Ju88G-6 took over the 3C+PN code by the beginning of March 1945.

Cheers
