Re: Luftwaffe loss 08.06.1944 Italy (Mallachow, Manfred and Hoffmann Paul)
Hi everybody and thank you in advance for helping
I founded the loss of this crew in a old local newspaper. Many people saw at that time the fight between this 2 engine airplane and so called spitfires in the skies over my city, Cortona, south of Tuscany.
I founded in a book Air War Italy 1944-45 by D'Amico, Valentini and Beale that there was a lost airplane that day " from 1.(F)/123,
"...sent out five aircraft that day, had lost a Ju 88T-1 (W.Nr.430913, 4U+GH), along with Obfhr. Scherpf and his three fellow crewmen, all killed. German sources put the crash southeast of Chiusi (SI)" . The name of Scherpf is not reported in my old newpaper, and the name of the crew is not reported in the book, so I can't crosslink the info. But if they were enrolled in 1.F 123...I think we could say that they were in that airplane. I'm trying to recover parts from the crash site, that I was able to identify with the help of old people who were there at that time.
In my area there was another crash of a german airplane the 22nd og jenuary of 1944...any info?
Best regards, Andrea "Nibele"
