Hello,

can anybody help with the cause of the loss of this Do 17P?

Crew: BO Olt.Amm, FF Fw.Stranz, BF Uffz.Schackert.
Missing in the area of Lemberg, captured and returned after the Polish campaign.

Was there published any account of one of the crew members?

Thanks for help and best regards,
Marius

Of course.
See the following: Marius Emmerling, Flugzeugverlustmeldungen der Luftwaffe 1939 (...) Teil 6: Fernaufklärer - Do 17F/P, Jet&Prop 1/13, page 48.

Another one joke. Thanks for nothing.

Thanks Andreas, the info is well known to me. What I am looking for is the cause of this loss (Fighter/ AA / Accident ?) as well as the exact place of the crash.
I could not find anything more in the Lfl.4 documents.

A personal account of one of the crew members or something similar would be helpful.
