JU88 crash on 22/23 June 1944 at Perseigne in Normand
 

Hi everyone there,

I am looking for any information about a Ju 88 that crashed during the night 22/23 june 1944 at Perseigne (south of Alençon, near Neufchatel en Saosnois).

1 crew survived.

The aircraft seems to have been equipped with anti ships devices (torpedos)?

Any hint ?


Thanks a lot !

This site indicates a fighter - http://www.ansa39-45.fr/ete44english.htm -.
Just scrolled down and seen the second entry for the bomber on 22/23rd so two crashes in the area, from what I had the torpedo losses were over the Channel, and the crew of the crashed bomber given as five dead and one survivor seems wrong ?
