Re: Two Ju 88G-1 Losses
Merlin, Peter, Ed, Rod, et al,
Thank you all so very much for participating in trying to identify a Ju 88G-1 of 12./NJG 3 that was lost on 06.10.44.
Breaking our situation down in Cartesian fashion, let me first say to Merlin that your favoritism for S Y + V V plus other comments have persuaded
me that your position is correct. At the beginning of my investigation, I ran straight into muddled and confusing information involving at least two aircraft; in trying to reconcile the recorded facts, I chose the Werknummer instead of the SKZ. As you say, much more probable that the letters would be correct, and Peter, I believe, has verified this with later reporting of one airplane.
The identification of the loss on 06.10.44 remains for me unsatisfactory. Just this morning, however, I have found a second reporting of this loss
in a different ULTRA message. This second signal repeats the facts transmitted earlier, but gives a fragmented WNr. 71232.
Again, thank all of you for sharing your insights and data. If anyone has additional information or thoughts, please share them.
RA
