15.06.40 - Do17 or Ju88 from 1./KG76 crashed in France?
 

Hello all, first question from a newB :o

I'm researching a pilot named Oblt. Alfred Molenaar, DOB 30.09.14 Bayreuth. Currently, the only info i have found is from the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries and a loss chart from SGLO (T1420) from his 2nd and fatal crash.

01.08.39 Oblt., in KG 76.
15.06.40 Oblt. in 1./KG 76, WIA - crash landed after aircraft damaged by AA fire NE of Pontoise.
16/17.02.42 Oblt.,Kdo. Fü. in Erg.St./NJG 2, KIA - Ju 88 C-6 (4R+LR) crashed at Ulvenhout near Breda/Holland upon return from mission.

Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction or has some more info on his first crash landing?

Thanks in advance, Philip

The I./KG 76 operated Do 17Z at that time, the unit converted to the Ju 88A during October 1940.
