Re: JU88 loss over Manchester 4/5 May 1945
Hi all,
I find this thread interesting. I do not know if this (below) can be relevant.
In my notes Ju 88 G-6 621642 D5+GH flew to Ireland on 03.05.45 (I do not have exact takeoff or landing times or know if that date is correct), but then the only four "other" Ju 88 G-6 (I have in my notes) that I can find "partly unaccounted for" (in that time frame) - are four reported leaving unspecified Danish or North-German airfields in morning 05.05.45 - but these are reported as from I/KG 66 and flying to Sola Airfield, Norway in morning of 05.05.45 (622307, 622346, 620646, 620426) but in lists of surrendering aircraft in Norway on 06.06.45 these are not listed.
But there is another note I just remembered.
Four Ar 234 C-3īs delivered to KG 76 - Lt. Kolm lead four Ar 234 C-3 and nine Ar 234 B-2 from Leck and north to Stavanger/Sola to avoid capture on 05.05.1945 (one machine crashed into the North Sea, one returned to Flensburg, one returned to Leck - only six Ar 234 B-2 were still at Sola 10.05.1945).
I do not know if the Ar 234 C-3 had the range for a flight to Ireland too?
Best regards
