JU88 (8L +HK) 5/9/1941

On Friday the 5th September 1941, A Luftwaffe Junkers JU88 (8L +HK) of Küstenfliegergruppe 906 flown by Unteroffizier Hermann Zeitsch , Flew into a hillside on Craiginour Hill which is part of the Fetteresso Forest West of Stonehaven. Zeitsch, B Lt.z.S Walter Both, Unteroffizier Werner Drexhage and Karl Loeffler were all killed. The aircrew are buried in the Dyce Old Cemetery.

Few things that I think are wrong.

Küstenfliegergruppe 906, were based in Aalborg and had He 115s, this aircraft was possibly from the Island of Sylt - Westerland one of the North Frisian islands off the Germans / Danish coast.

8L +HK is suggested to be a B&V 138 lost off Ireland in 1940?

Can anybody confirm anything on the above?
