Re: Ju 88 A-4 WNr 1612, lost on 15 or 16 January 1942

Laurent,
The Luftwaffe Loss Returns do show this aircraft as being lost on 15 Jan. 1942. Andresens's body was recovered from Prior's Haven, Tynemouth, on 27 January 1942 and was buried in Hylton Cemetery, Sunderland, where it still lies. It seems that his aircraft was shot down by AA fire. If that is the case, there is some evidence to suggest that the AA unit was 'C' Troop, 278 LAA Bty, 68 LAA Regt, Royal Artillery.
