Re: Luftwaffe Ju88 Lost on 8th March 1940
Hehe, interesting comment on this NVM for those interested in the politics surrounding the 'phony war':
A note is attached saying: 'Die Besatzung hat angegeben, sie habe sich auf einer Übungsflug befunden. Ihre baldige Freilassung steht daher in Aussicht.'
Thus - the crew did not mention that they really were on a bombing mission against Scapa Flow, and made a navigational error on the return flight.
Do you know if and when they were released, Jørn?
Additional: I guess they were... across the entire document is written 'Zurück' in large handwritten letters.... hehehehehehehe
Regards,
Andreas B
