Forced Landing of 5./KG 1 Ju 88 at Saborovka 24 or 25 July 1941
 

Hi all

I am working on a Flugbuch to a pilot from 5./KG 1. His notes are a little confusing but I wondered if anyone could verify a forced landing of a 5./KG 1 Ju 88 on either 24th or 25th July 1941 at Saborovka.

If anyone can confirm the aircraft code and crew that would be great. I think the aircraft will be V4+LN or V4+CN.

Any help appreciated.

Hi JoMe

Thank you very much for your help. The aircraft in the Flugbuch for this period are all coded to 5. Staffel ('N') so I do not think this is the one.

Thank you very much anyway.

Hi Tim,

what is the name of the 5./KG 1 pilot?

In the Gen.Qu. loss reports five Ju 88 A-5 losses are listed in the second half of July 1941:
16.7. 6./KG 1 WNr. 6075 100%
24.7. 4./KG 1 WNr. 7107 100%
25.7. 6./KG 1 WNr. 6262 30%
25.7. 6./KG 1 WNr. 6323 100%
28.7. 5./KG 1 WNr. 4317 ?

Hi Leo and Milan

Thank you both for your help. I think this is one of those that will not quite match up. The pilot was Leutnant Oscar Müller and the comment regarding a forced-landing has been added by him post-war. He added only a few comments to his Flugbuch post-war and most are very helpful but occasionally memory may have led to some errors.

Thank you again for your help.
