Re: Interesting French Gendarmerie report about a crashed Ju 88
Hello,
In my records, I have a Ju 88A4 from 10 KG/77, shot down on July 29-30, 1942, in aerial combat. Its registration was 3Z+AU. I don't know the Werknummer.
The crew: Lt. Franz Taschler, Hans Eckrieder, Erwin Wessolek, and Heinrich Haue, were killed.
The village mayor, fearing reprisals from the occupying forces, led the Germans to the crash site. All the lumberjacks and locals knew where the plane had crashed.
You could try to find the book by Françoise and Pierre Roger: Air Warfare in the Ardennes Department, Vol. 1, page 33.
There is also a profile of the aircraft on page 81. Their books contain contemporary accounts, which makes them very interesting, they are excellent books.
Sincerely,
Joël
