Re: Luftwaffe losses on the ground at Lyon-Bron on 30 April 1944
Interesting, Nick, thanks for the additional details. It seems then that the Ju 86E 0865013 that was damaged at 30% on 30 April 1944 was either never repaired and left in situ, or repaired, returned to Lyon-Bron and again damaged or rendered unserviceable before the German retreat.
Luftnachrichtenschule 4 left Bron on 18 August 1944 and flew to Alsace. The same day, the Stab and I Abteilung of the unit were disbanded, leaving only the II Abteilung that was itself disbanded on 10 September 1944.
By the way, I don't see how Ju 86 wrecks, especially one totally destroyed, can be "fitted out for transporting petrol." Or does it mean that they were used as "flying petrol transporters" before being wrecked ?
