Re: JU88 marked L1#PL history needed
Ju 88 W.Nr. 0886612 was assembled by Heinkel at Oranienburg late in 1941, and was A-4 version (at least originally), Stkz. RF+OL. It is known at Rechlin in 02.09.42. If this is one of the several old and recoditioned A-4īs assigned LG 1 in late 1944 / early 1945 I do not know (but likely, maybe, it simply kept old code in spring 1945). No fate is recorded.
It is wrong "thenem" says Luftwaffe added 88 to the Ju 88 werknumbers later in the war. They were such all the time, as 088xxxx in fact (just dependent on what factory assembled them), early documents generally only gave last four, later when more īlast fourī collided, then more precicision was needed. Even today many fates I have collide as only last four given and same version. Many, many dataplates and component W.Nr.īs markings confirm this.
