I need your help!

I would like to know the names of the crew and the units of which the aircraft belonged. The plane crashed on a mountain about 13km from Nova Gorica. The date of the crash is 25. november 1943 (curch chronic).

Hello Saso,

I hope the TOCH community will help you but the first dataplate cannot be linked to a particular aircraft (unless I have wrong).
Carry on searching the area.

See you on holidays.

Yes, first plate does not give enough info to look into specific nummerical ranges. Seven factories were still delivering in December 1941, and this plate is from Engine Mounting or Bearers (Number 8-88.6xx).

Power Unit

Engine mounting 600 - 699
Engine cowling
etc.

and number 8-88.629 exactly was "Motorverkleidung" for Ju 88 A-4, A-8, A-11, C-6 and D-1.

In November 1941, the Junkers own factories were delivering the A-4 (140xxx), C-6 (360xxx) and D-1 (430xxx) ranges, but part could have moved to other plane before crash. I do not see suitable candidate for this date near this location.

In my files I see there has been question before (same date)?
