Hptm Otto Hunnius was lost in Ju 88 A-14 Wk Nr 144679 coded 3E+CR of 7/KG 6 during a nuisance raid on southern England. He and his crew are reported missing

Re: Otto Hunnius
 

Is the date correct I had this loss as the 12-5-43 (12/13th ?),

cheers

Re: Otto Hunnius
 

Hi Brian the date comes from his soldbuch which is in red, can you tell me who were the rest of the crewmembers.
Regards Steven.

Re: Otto Hunnius
 

Hi Steven, I have B. Gef. Heinz Thieme, Bf. Uffz. Mathias Pabst and Bs. Gef. Heinz Schwaat. Please note these are from someone elses hand written notes so spelling may not be correct i.e Hunnius looked like Bonnius, anyway I hope this helps,

regards

Brian

PS if you search in members list for edNorths posts back to August 6th 2005 he listed KG 6 losses between 12th to 14th May 1943

Re: Otto Hunnius
 

Hi Brian many thanks again, I will look at the posts, in his soldbuch it mentions the vermisst date in red with a red cross, I believe he was the pilot, as it mentions pilot training schools,but not sure any verification would help.
Cheers Steven

Loss was 11-12 May and the crew Gefr Hans Thieme-B, Uffz Matthias Pabst-BF & Gefr Hans Schwaab-BS. I have Hunnius' crew details if this is of use

Re: Otto Hunnius
 

Hi Chris thanks yes I would like to have the crew details, thank you. Can I ask why would the dates be different from what you have and what is recorded in his soldbuch.
