Oblt Hans Graf of 3./KG 51 was 23 when killed but would have been 24 following month (born 2 Sep 16). Having lived where his Ju 88 came down, the Ju 88 skidded across a number of fields disintegrating as it did and ending upside down. Having researched it, nobody machine gunned the 3 crew as they got out as they were dead already. However, a Lewis gunner from a searchlight battery is said to has opened fire as it came over/went past but he was not responsible for shooting it down. Might I suggest that this is the crash in question and that the journalist who wrote it up took liberties-never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
