Re: Need ID of Ju88A of KG30 burned out in Holland 1940

Let me try to give my overview of the KG30 a/c that were lost over Holland.
May 10
  1. Stab I./KG30 4D+CB, Roozendaal/Velp (N. Arnhem), crew Fw Hartmann 3 PoW, 1 KIA
  2. 1./KG30 4D+IT, Prinsenbeek, Crew Oblt von Wartenberg 3 KIA, 1 PoW [Note that as it looks due to some shuffeling around of a/c within KG30 just before May 10, the aircraft codes often did not match the crew unit]
  3. 1./KG30 4D+FT, Zevenhuizen after being hit over Rotterdam, Crew Oblt Wülknitz PoW
  4. I./KG30 Schiphol. [This is the one asked by Larry in a separate post. It is claimed to be shot down by a D-21. Unit code seems like 4D+IH or LH or IK or LK. But date etc not 100% certain to me, especially since no mentioning of crew despite landing at Schiphol. Could also be accident at Schiphol after I./KG30 transfered there by the end of May.]
  5. 3./KG30 Oudenrijn due to AA Waalhaven, Crew Oblt Magnussen 3 killed, one PoW. Code not 100% certain but Brongers list and Weiss give 4D+CD
  6. 3./KG30 Crash landing at Münster after mission to Rotterdam. Crew Uffz Hubik all WIA
  7. 3./KG30 Crash at Rheine after being hit by AA Soesterberg.
  8. 4./KG30 4D+AM crashed at Den Hoorn (S. Delft) shot down by D-21. Crew Oblt Beermann 3 PoW, 1 KIA
  9. 5./KG30 Reportedly lost around Waalhaven. No details, and one option is confusion with the previous one, which is sometimes listed as 5./
  10. 7./KG30 4D+KR, Exploded and crashed in the river Waal at Nijmegen after being hit by AA, Crew Lt Bergemann all KIA
May 12
  1. 5./KG30 Hazerswoude, shot down by Defiants No. 264 Sqn and Spitfires No. 66 Sqn. Crew Oblt Schneider 3 KIA, 1 PoW
  2. 5./KG30 Crashed into the sea at Scheveningen after being hit by AA, no crew details [I'm not 100% convinced of this one; might also be late report of the May 10 a/c]
May 14
  1. 2./KG30 Zeeland, around Vlissingen. Crew Uffz Wengert 3 KIA, 1 WIA [This one is often listed as May 15, but I think this is a late report and the 14th is correct]
May 18
  1. III./KG30 Haamstede, shot down by Spitfires No. 65 Sqn. [This is almost certainly the one mentioned in one of the above posts as being landed at Renesse. Is there photo evidence that this is the 4D+CD, and not the one at Oudenrijn as in my list?]
Still quite some white spots. And of these 14 a/c, only 4 aircraft codes are known, with one possibly. Further identification of any of the other 10 of course most welcome.

Kind regards, Pieter
