OPS (F) mis (100%) unk location, on Sea-Recce in area of Cap Linaro und Ischia, believed crashed in sea near Bolsena, Italy 14.04.1944 (F Ofw. Konrad Schneider, B Lt. Daniel Epple, BF Uffz. Kurt Hartmann and BS Uffz. Franz Thiel missing)
[REF: D-1 430912 4U+DH Salonen NVM; PAchs; FB Schreiber; Böblingen doc]
This was Ju 88 T-1 conversion No. 34 (from Ju 88 D-1 airframe parts, but its uncertain if it ever flew as D-1 at Bernburg - as it appears first many months after assembly of D-1s ended at Bernburg, and then at Merseburg where many T-1 were converted and assembled) and initially had Stkz. TX+OZ, accepted by BAL Merseburg 30.11.43 (was flown by GL Flugbereitshaft Berlin / Tempelhof for a while). First flight was Merseburg 28.08.43 (three months earlier!) but arrived Perugia from Munchen-Riem 26.12.43.
