Loss 8 June 1942
 

Hello,

I have a report of the Prefecture of Morbihan. As of June 8, 1942, a German aircraft with three occupants are charred in the municipality of La Vraie-Croix at a place called "Les Claies". (20 km to the east of Vannes).
I searched the lists of cemeteries and found nothing.
That same June 8, 1942, the Ju-88 A-4. WNr. 5680 loss to Kermorin, 20 km northwest of Vannes. Four killed, the VDK indicates three killed Kermorin.

What us your question as you appear to be saying first crash is related to the second or do you want details of second crash?
