Re: Luftwaffe Bomber Shot down over Merseyside
Hello.
October 8th 1940 a JU88A-1 from 2/KGr.806 was shot down by no 312 Squadron Hurricanes.
The JU88 Landed near Bromborough Docks on the mud flats near the Mersey. The incident took place at about 4.15 pm.
Oblt. Brueckmann, Uffz Weth and Sonderfuehrer Lehmann captured. Lt Zur Schlegel was killed.
Many books about the Battle of Britain carry descriptions of this crash with pictures of the JU88 looking rather sad in the mud.
