Hello,

A Ju 88 of I./LG 1 overturned and caught fire attempting landing at Osterbusen, near Greifswald. Oblt K Meyer and one crewman were killed and the bomber was destroyed.

I have three questions:
1) Does someone have the full names of both casualties? The Luftwaffe Officer database has the same info than me, nothing more.

2) I can't find any place called Osterbusen near Greifswald, or in the surrounding Ostvorpommern province. My initial understanding was that it was an airfield name, but my current guess is that in case of a landing on an airfield, the text above would have been written "overturned and caught fire at landing" rather than "attempted landing", that is guess means it was some type of forced landing rather than a normal one. Then Osterbusen might a small place near/in Greifswald. There was an airfield near Greifswald at Ladebow, that was used by LG 1 at the time. Any idea on the location of this crash ?

3) according to Michael Holm's website, I./LG 1 did not start to use Ju 88 before June 1940, while both II. and III./LG 1 started in fall 1939. So maybe the unit listed above is not the good one?

Thanks in advance
