At 1141 hrs on 12 August 1940, Lt Kurt Caspesius of 9./KG 51 lifted off from Etampes in Ju 88 A-1, Wk Nr 5042 coded 9K+AT. Briefed to attack Portsmouth, his aircraft was badly damaged by RAF fighters and with a wounded gunner, Sonderführer Hugo Engel, force-landed near Le Havre, his aircraft suffering 70% damage. Caspesius, Uffz Fritz Kraus (B) and Ogefr Alfred Knoth (BF) were unwounded.


My records show:
II./KG27 suffered the loss of the aircraft carrying Major Friedrich-Karl Schlichting (Gr.Kdr) Shot down by night fighter Hurricane of 87 Squadron flown by Plt Off Peter Comely following attack on Bristol at 00:20, all crew baled out safely, while the aircraft crashed at Sturminster Marshall, near Wimborne. Under interrogation, the prisoners stated they had left Dinard to bomb the Bristol Company’s works, but they had attacked ‘the harbour at Bristol’ instead. Four bombs were in fact dropped in the Long Ashton district about the time that the aircraft was over the city.
