Hi Rick,
Thanks to Heuser for the lead regarding the possible unit, checked my file and found the Verlustmeldung for this crew.
The details are as follows:
2./KG66
20.02.44 Ju 188E-1 Wnr.260369 Z6 + DK
This aircraft crashed on return from England at 21.20 hours at Sailly-Loretto, France. All five crew killed in crash.
Pilot: Uffz. Alfred Swillims. Born 20.02.1922 in Duisburg.
Observer: Ofw. Josef Vollmer. Born 01.12.1914 in Brabecke.
Radio/Op: Fw. Franz Claes. Born 05.10.1919 in Paderborn.
Gunner: Uffz. Ludwig Neuhaus. Born 04.08.1919 in Erkelenz.
T.-B: Uffz. Max Kopka. Born 17.07.1920 in Preussental/Ostpr.
(Not to sure what T.-B means on the report).
All five crew were buried at Montdidier, France in 1944.
Grave numbers: 166,167,168,169,170.
Any joy with scanning the Josef Berger death card for me?
Kind regards,
