Re: Attack on West Malling 15 August 1940 - Were Ju 88s Present?
He said:
Sortie by I./KG 76 evening. Crews reported great confusion above target. Fighter protection ineffective. British fighters flew right through the formation. 16 Do 17s of I Gruppe. Target Kenley but confusion with Croydon, Biggin Hill and Redhill. No losses landed Beauvais. Stab had 5 Do 17s which presumably provided lead. Generalmajor Froehlich Komm probably flew as an observer. II Gruppe with Ju 88s at Creil did not take part. III Gruppe took off 1805 landed 2045hrs target Redhill
A second letter tells more about what happened to the Stab and the fatal wounding of Oblt Lommatsch
