St.Kap. - 2.(F) 22
 

Good afternoon,
This unit lost two StKap. in nearly a month:
Hptm. Anton Köck and crew went missing on the 11 july 1943 and Hptm. Günther Sauer on the 18 August. I'm missing the names of the BO,BF,BS of both crew. I hope someone does. Thx in advance.
Sunny greetings,


Dirk

Was Sauer the Pilot or Beobachter? I note the Kracker database says he was awarded the Observer Clasp.
Interesting note - this aircraft Ju88D-1 4N+PK is believed to have been shot down by Soviet ace Alexandr Pokryshkin.
