Re: Ju 88 A on Normandy Coast May 41
I think that "Notwasserung" is generally used when the a/c belly lands at sea but not at the beach.
The problem however is indeed the caption "Liverpool" on the back of the photo. During the night of May 7/8th Liverpool was the target for II./KG54 but on the night of May 8/9th it was Sheffield & Hull. And Radtke stipulates clearly in his book on page 63 that Lt Höber's a/c, which belly landed near Cherbourg, came back from ops over Sheffield or Hull.
Nevertheless I'm pretty convinced that the Ju 88 in the photo belonged to II./KG54 and not I./KG54.
