Re: Lost JU 88 24 March 1945

Hi Matti, looking at the Nachtjagd War Diaries it shows III/NJG 4 on a ground attack mission prior to midnight on the 24th with the following crews Ltn Springer, Ltn Goebel, Ltn von ? name not llegible and Ltn Wittendorf. A second similar mission was flown in the early hours of the 25th with crews Hpt. Kurz, Ltn Richter and Ofhr Suckert. Additionally a Night Fighting mission was flown so its looks like you are correct with the Wittendorf/Mittendorf crew. The targets appear to be Buederich, Mehrum for the first attack and the Rees bridge for the second. Targets for III/NJG4 for the next night shown as Dinslaken/Rees as the 'K' report for 3C+CS,

Regards
