Re: Junkers 88 lost on ops PQ18 14.9.42
Hi all,
This info comes from Luftwaffe 6. Abt. losses and explains why cbe2009 was stating other number:
2121 (i.e. 088142121)
Ju 88 A-4 [Jumo 211 J VS II] 4D+GS III/KG 30 (Luftflotte 5) OPS (F) ´belived force landed´ (100%) ´near´ [on land after attack on Allied Convoy PQ.18 just off shore at ] Spitzbergen 14.09.1942 (F Ofw. Paul Füllborn, B Uffz. Wilhelm Mietz, BF Uffz. Reinhard Spielberg and Ofw. BS Siegfried Matschke mis/ret uninjured in i/24.09.42)(rep A4 1456 in losses 127v19.09.42, amd as 2121 in losses i/24.09.42 <but amd not written into losses RL 2 III/1183 P.328 ~ but found in RL 2 III/762 P.122!> and crew ret allright as the machine was only belly-landed on sandfloes near shore; burned but was abandoned - Wreck about 60% on site, showing ´signs of´ unit crest under pilot window !)
cheers
