Re: Loss 18 June 1940
As on 18 June 1940 the French Forces were evacuating Brest, and the Germans entered the city the next day, I wonder if a report was issued at all by the French.
A possible source will be the local gendarmerie, that was often involved in searching and capturing downed aviators. I don't know if the gendarmes will be evacuated or ordered to remain at their post at this time of the campaign.
But given that the Germans occupied the area one or two days after the loss of the Ju 88 it is also possible that both crew evaded capture.
