Losses 4 May 1942- Ju 88
 

Hello,
Hello,
I try to confirm the loss of 4 May 1942. We have a report from the police which tells us the crash of a German aircraft fell on the town of Plouer sur Rance at three in the morning. Two dead, one wounded, died in the morning.
Plouer sur Rance is located 15 km south-east of the airfield Dinard.
I have two losses Ju 88 (WNr. 1154). Ju 88 A-4 (WNr. 1528). The six killed that day are given on the dead flugplatz Dinard ?

First have three dead, one more injured. Second three killed. No more are mentioned.
My guess is that Police report is about 1528, both are I./KuFlGr 506

The crash took place at 3 am the next morning airman was found seriously injured on top of a cherry tree, down from the tree and taken to a doctor where he died.
The question I ask myself is that men and Ju 88 are given crashed on flugplatz Dinard. I do not know why the two losses at night. I thought of a collision. But the crash took place 15 km and one bomber.
