Lookin for info:Crash of Herbert Altner (8./NJG 5), 9 September 1943

Hello Christian

I was only able to find the following loss of NJG 5 on that date.

9 September 1943: Bf 110 G-4 (W.Nr. 5437) of 2./NJG 5 suffered explosion in right wing over Stendal on non-combat flight, 40%

Note that this is an aircraft of 2./NJG 5 and not 8./NJG 5. I can add that he had recorded two victories by this time. Hopefully someone else can add more about the aircraft he was flying on 9 September 1943.

Horrido!

Leo
