1./KG-77 Loss in Suffolk 19th Sept 1940
On the 19th September 1940 a Ju-88A-1 (W.Nr 2151) was shot down by F/O J. Kowalski (302 Sqdn) and crashed in a school field at Culford Park in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
I have the relevant details from The Battle Of Britain Then & Now and have obtained the forenames of the three crew members killed in the crash via the Volksbund Database but can anyone tell me please whether the pilot, Uffz Etzold, survived his wounds and became a PoW and also what his forename was?
Also, does anyone have a photo of the crash site and/or the particular aircraft in service prior to this crash (3Z+GH)?
A local man who was a schoolboy and who went to that school at the time of the crash has contacted me to see what details I can provide. So far I have passed him all I have been able to find out.
Any further details would be much appreciated.
