Junkers 88 lost 12.7.41
 

Good morning, on the 12.7.41 Fw Hans Figge and crew of 3/KG76 were reported missing from operations on the Eastern Front.
From the records i have, it appears Figge and 2 other members of his crew later returned to their unit. Can anybody confirm this and provide crew details, also location if known?

Ju88A-5 W.Nr 2231 F1+HL.

Best regs,

The name of the Bf is Günter Knopf not Schmidt in my records. I also show the aircraft as F1+EL not +HL.

Any thoughts?
