Re: Ju88 4D+IP 6./KG30 crashed Sweden 28 August 1942
Hello Brian,

I quote Bo Widfeldt from "The Luftwaffe in Sweden 1939-1945":
This Ju 88 (coded 4D+IP of 6./KG 30) was found abandoned at Jänkisjärvi in northern Sweden. The crew had bailed out and after landing safely made their way to Finland. The aircraft crashed but was not too badly damaged. The wreckage was examined and found to have Junkers Jumo 211 F engines with the werk nummern 4309/5013. It was brought by train to Linköping and, in 1944, was sold as scrap. Footnote 26: According to news from Finland on September 3, 1942, the crew arrived safely in that country.

Regards
Leo
