Re: Need ID of Ju88A of KG30 burned out in Holland 1940
Hi Larry,
Not easy to identify the KG30 Ju88's, since 11 were shot down over Holland in the 4 days of fighting, and of most of these the code is not certain.
But this one is almost certainly the 4D+CB of Stab I./KG30 that came down East of Arnhem on May 10 early morning. The more detailed crash location is between Rozendaal and Velp, just NE. of Arnhem, but the majority of the crew (Fw Hartmann, Gefr Gieseler and Fw Soltau) jumped over Ede, West of Arnhem, and were made prisoner of war. Only Uffz Lassen, probably the pilot, baled out too low and was killed.
Kind regards, Pieter
