Re: Ju88 822577
I think it may be hard to be definite on this Bd. I had been told it was gunner who had not undertaken the full gunnery course but would be awarded a gunners badge after so many missions. Looking through the Steinbock NVM's II/KG6 records all its gunners as Bd, but the book 'Wir flogen Gegen Westen' shows them as Bs. A Gunner of KG40 taken POW on 21-1-44 is reported on the 'K' as having no formal gunnery training but is shown as a Bs ( perhaps he had the required no. of missions in). Whether or not there is a definite difference in trainng Bs or Bd indicates someone acting as a gunner.
