Thank you very much Stig.
Thank you very much Ed.
I request excuses to You by my poor language.
I have not had occasion to find that book “Air for War Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete”.
In any case I look for a very concrete information.
I am going to try to explain it best the possible thing.
.- Name, Last names, of the pilots, soldiers, died in Krumovo-Plovdiv, during the stay of the Luftwaffe in Bulgaria.
Excuses again, I am inexperienced.
Greetings

Jon

Hi, I have possible 30% on one Ju 88 for that other date, no casualties mentioned, they could lurk somewhere or misdated. Anyway are you shure there were injuries?

Re: Loss record for Junkers 88 3.5.41
 

Hi, please I would like confirmation/correction for these 2 points:

• 1./KG51 lost 2 Ju88 on that fateful day. Therefore, according to the Flugbuch of one of the lost airmen: Fw.Weigel Walter, Bm – one of the bomber (his Ju88) was coded 9K+DH, not 9K+GH : is a mistake ? An error?
• Some RAF pilots claimed these Luftwaffe bombers : Hurricane pilot Sgt George Genders, Flg Off E.J. Woods, Flg Off David Moir and Flg Off Ping Newton : what was their unit ?

Thank you
Phil.

8184 Ju 88 (A-5) 9K+GH I/KG 51 (Luftflotte 4)
OPS (F) missing (100%) unk location 03.05.1941 (F Lt. Rudolf Ortner, BF Uffz. Werner Mannert, BS Uffz. Johann Grabner and BM Fw. Walter Weigel missing)

I suppose this be "9K+DH" then. Errors like these are known, but who´s error?
We need third referance to be shure, or if there is W.Nr./code availble (I think less than a week or ten days before, to be fairly shure). I added sub-versions on both, as losses do not state these. The other was ...

6327 Ju 88 (A-5) 9K+LH I/KG 51 (Luftflotte 4)
