Possibly:

Ju 88A-5, WNr 4329, II./LG 1, 5/21/1941, Flak, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #3)-Vol.4; Taghon, LG 1, I, p.455, Kreta, 20%.

Note, however the damage is 20%, not shot down, and the location is Crete.

Yes, there were several lost as well as damaged. To narrow it down a bit, what are the circumstances you are looking for?

Many thanks John,the third loss match perfectly (Elaia=Elia).
I will ask for your help once again.Do you have any information about the loss of a Ju 88 with the code letters L1+LL during the same period?I found this information in 'Air war for Yugoslavia,Greece and Crete' and i am searching for further information.
Best regards Tasos

Hi.

This is what the loss record for this loss looks like in the GenQu6Abt lists:

http://www.ahs.no/ref_db/lw_loss_pub...?lossid=113307

I do not believe the record should be for 11./L.G.1 as it looks like in the entry by John, but rather the II.(Kampf)/L.G.1 as stated in my record. As far as I know 11./L.G.1 was part of the IV.(Stuka)/L.G.1 and at the time operating agains the Soviet Union on the northern front.

Best regards,
