JU88's shot down

Trying to identify 2 JU88's believed shot down by Ack Ack or fighters on 3rd April 1943 in Gabes/Sfax area, Tunisia. Eyewitness's on ground saw glows in distance as aircraft crashed. Happened about 1915hrs Allied time.
Can anyone identify these aircraft please.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug

II/KG30 lost two Ju88s that evening, one to a nightfighter over Gela, Sicily, the other over Tunisia. I don't know if these fit the bill. Maybe someone else has additional information.

Cheers

Hi Doug,

On south front - line (British 8th Army) no claims were made by fighters during 3rd April 1943.
