In the NVM stand Pl.Qu.3069 and no hind of damage. Neither 100% or 15%.
On http://www.lwag.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-2201.html I found this:
Ju 88A-4 5502 BIBRA, Major Ernst Frhr. von Stab III. KG 51 blau A 9K+AA 23-Aug-42 Kommandeur. Notlandung due to Flak. 2 crew WIA. Oblt. Poppenburg landed 9K+AD and picked up Bibra and crew. RK Ostfront Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #7)-Vol.11; KG 51, p. 187 Pl. Qu. 3135 15% F

Very strange indeed. Landing and picking up crew make sense if it is done on enemy held territory. Why it is reported only 15%, as should be 100%?
