Re: KG77 Crash Downham Market 4 May 1941

Hi Derek

I expect you've seen Jack Foreman's 'The Turning Point', but if not, he says that Ltn Joachim Wreschnik's Ju88 3Z+CL of 3/KG77 force-landed at Welney Wash, Downham Market shortly before dawn, crew made prisoner.

Michael Bowyer in 'Air Raid' says 3Z+CL (WkNr.4269) suffered double engine failure following a raid on Liverpool, and that the pilot ordered the crew to bale out, leaving him to crash-land and destroy the aircraft, which he was unable to do.

What else did you wish to know? Perhaps others may be able to help.

Cheers
Brian
