On 15 January 1943 a flight of Ju88 A-4 bombers from I/KG77 that had taken off from Catania was bounced by P-40s from the 33rd FG near Telopte (Thélepte), Tunesia, and suffered heavy losses. Among these were:
1/KG77 losses:

3/KG77 losses:
WNr 140453 3Z+JL (Uffz. Witter)
Only Ofw. Kirsch of 3/KG77 returned in 3Z+FL, which suffered damage and wounded crew.
I've been trying to find photos of these aircraft, but without any luck. Does anyone have photos of any of these aircraft, please?
