Re: 3 June 1942 Ju88 shot down off Southwold, Suffolk

Hi,
Try this one 'Herne Bay' due AA fire, but date 2 June likely does not match, unless plane be thought downed that day, and 0235 what (UTC, BST etc. ?)


5714 Ju 88 A-4 3Z+FN II/KG 77 (Luftflotte 3)
OPS (F) missing (100%) unk location 02.06.1942 (F Lt. Heinz Franke, B Uffz. Ernst Femel, BF Uffz. Udo Kempin and BS Ofw. Eugen Besler mis/ rep killed in h/01.07.42)

these two are unknown fates... 3 June, Luftlotte 3 was France, Holland, Belgium etc.

1591 Ju 88 D-1 F6+CL 3.(F)/122 (Luftflotte 3)
OPS (F) missing (100%) unk location 03.06.1942 (F Oblt. Friedrich Raschke, B Fw. Karl Bachmann, Uffz. Josef Steigerwald and BS Gefr. Karl Schwarz missing)

3656 Ju 88 A-4 3Z+KP II/KG 77 (Luftflotte 3)
OPS (F) missing (100%) unk location 03.06.1942 (F Ofw. Ernst Ebert, B Uffz. Adolf Schad, BF Uffz. Wilhelm Hoppe and BS Uffz. Paul Hoffmann missing)

for 4 June, I find no particular 'suspect' ... BTW this period has not been matched yet to found crash sites in or around England, Scotland or Wales (in my files). Possibly some info might be found in 'After the Battle' books or similar. Mason perhaps?
