Re: Ju 88 loss Ukrain 31 March 1944

Jörg,

All related German and Hungarian KTBs are lost. I have a short diary entry and a longer reminiscence about this sortie, since a Hungarian Ju 88 was damaged by a Soviet fighter. But no very details about the target. Reminiscence says 'Soviet positions in the limit of a town'. Even the type of the attacking Soviet fighter was not mentioned.

But generally, the weather was very bad, massive clouds over 1000 m. So the bombers were very vulnerable for AA fire, since they had to fly under the clouds. Despite of this, the Hungarian Ju 88s even strafed the targets after the bombing.
