Ju88 (8180) 4D+BH 1/KG30 3 May 1941
 
Hi guys

The above Ju88 belly-landed near Sheringham in Norfolk early on 3 May 1941. Fw Geiger was the pilot and apparently the air gunner was a 53-year-old Major with a WWI Iron Cross, on his first (and last) operational flight.

Is this correct? And if so, who was he?

Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian

Super job once again!

Do we know anything about Maj Walter Seeberg?

Any chance of a scan of the newspaper picture?

Cheers
Brian
